I set mine/ours off with a non-cat car in the drive if I leave the front door open.
Oh it seems to help that it runs leaded fuel also.

Is that not a Bacon alarm?

Test mine monthly.

Probably been said before but you can get them for free (and even fitted!) from your local fire service.

Instead of one Fireman, we even got the entire watch coming down in their fire applicance which kept the Missus happy for awhile!

Cheers,
James

You can get a "Cooking Safe" or "toast safe" one nowadays

also - no excuse to rip the battery out got to B&Q buy a another one for £5 and screw it up outside the Bedroom, (miles from the kitchen). The if the kitchen one goes of or you rip the battery out at least the other one will wake you!.

Don't forget the carbon monoxide alarms either, just as important.
