Lie in, not a chance.

I thought I'd have a lie in this morning, well till 8 anyway.

 

We are normally all in at 6am, but I thought I'd have a lie in till 8 this morning, so I let one of the lads open up for me. I get a phone call at 6am to let me know the smoke cloak is going off.

 

The nutter who will remain nameless managed to reset the alarm after entering and then walk through all the sensors. So now I'm in with every door open, fans and BR600's going trying to get the smoke out of here, and no doubt the fire brigade will be here soon. Not happy.:thumbdown:

 

But at least I know it works.:thumbup:

 

For those that don't know what a smoke cloak is, check this out.

I had my smoke cloak go off one Sunday afternoon in the summer. It was a false alarm luckily, but the sound of the alarm alerted the neighbours who went for a nose.

 

They spotted smoke coming from the gaps in the eaves and called the Fire Brigade.

 

Luckily I got there before the fire brigade, but by this time the neighbour, fearing an explosion, had started up his fleet of lorries and vans and moved them a safe distance away.

 

I calmly walked to the door, but he was shouting 'DONT OPEN THE DOOR, IT'LL BLOW'

 

I carried on in whilst he legged it to cover behind a wall.

 

The brigade arrived, had a good laugh and went on their way happy.

 

No harm done, it only cost a refill and a engineers visit to fix the fault that caused the false call.
