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.
