Is this what I have to look forward to? Fire safety...

Thanks guys, close calls are never fun.

Safety first

True they are never fun but they are something to be thankful for.

Glad everything is ok. Kind of an instant perspective giver..

I like the way BP phrased it

Just remember: Stop, drop, and roll.

No, seriously, glad no one got hurt. That's nuts!

Pete....been there. It is frustrating, but the most important part, no one was hurt. Hopefully you did not get too much damage and things will get back to NorMal for you.

Glad everyone is OK Pete, life is so much more important than possesions and inventory, good to have an electrician in the family, now I need to update my fire prevention system.

Glad to hear everything is okay Pete

Whew - glad everyone and most everything's OK, Pete! I hate holiday tragedy stories! (and thanks for the instant reminder about smoke dectectors...I'm siging off to go change those batteries right now........)

I work at a certain not-for-profit company that does third party product safety certification, and in particular investigate commercial fire alarm control panels. Unlike most of what my company does, we verify the panels continue to operate through a battery of tests (different ambient conditions, voltage mains fluctuations, various transients). I also sit on a chapter of the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) and know first hand how important it is to have the proper fire system installed and maintained.

Pete, I obviously don't know what the fire code requires in your area, but having a small system installed that also transmits events to a central monitoring station might not be a bad idea, especially from a property and inventory point of view. It might even help with lowering your insurance.

Glad everything turned out for the best.

Phew! Glad everyone's safe, Pete! I've got to change my Smoke Detectors!
