Silent but Deadly one set them off?

Or are you dead now?

Minor earthquake stirring up a load of invisible (to you) dust?

Happens sometimes, even in this country

Power surge?

Its the rise of the machines.

Just sat in my study & fire alarm started chirping the system is battery sensors with mains backup installed on 3 floors

Then all 3 started ....

then the CO detector in the boiler room which is battery only decided it wanted to play along

then the CO detector next to the living room fire felt left out and started its alarm

Checked all 3 floors no fire or smell of burning

The CO detectors are brand new & the fire jobbies (ionisation) are a year old with a shelf life of 10 years

Sunspot activity? Gamma burst? Neutron bomb?

Are they interconnected so if one goes they all trigger?

If so, check the new CO detector connections.
