I Made a Mistake

Tried to do the weekly fire alarm system test:

Set off the fire alarms so they can't be reset 🤢

Had to explain this to upper management while they're on the way home for the evening 🤢🤢

Whoopsies
I’m sorry that really sucks

@CheshireCatalyst someone took $500 from my purse
I don’t know who when or where

@KaysHealingPath that's not your mistake :( that's some other arsehole. Such a stress though especially because it's cash and you can't be sure when it happened.

@CheshireCatalyst but such is life. I never carry money with me - so that was my mistake
Are you a fire alarm technician, IAW NFPA 72? Well, look at the bright side...you didn't set off the sprinkler system if you have one there.

Not in any huge trouble I hope?

@Longpatrol doesn't seem that way thankfully!

Oh dear..I hope they understand!

@SW-User he was really good about it actually. Phew.

I apologize, as I thought you were working on an American system IAW National Fire Code 72 (Here in the states). From what I've read I'm guessing you're from the British Isles. Sorry for my assumption.

@soar2newhighs no worries :)
I did 33 years in the Fire service, a good deal of that time dealing with fire protection systems.@CheshireCatalyst

Why? Were you even authorized to do that? 😬
CheshireCatalyst · 36-40, M
@SStarfish yeah I do it every Monday

What model system?
Ouch

Fire brigade call out?
@CheshireCatalyst i bet you won't do it again.

@InOtterWords I have now internalised every aspect of how to do the test properly!
@CheshireCatalyst it is the best way to learn
