    A most peculiar case of beeping fire alarms

    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?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

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

          Happens sometimes, even in this country

                    Are they interconnected so if one goes they all trigger?

                    If so, check the new CO detector connections.
