As someone who works with fire alarm systems, it amazes me that there are people who learn about them voluntarily.
Ugh now that my husband works in fire alarm systems, he has become someone who thinks I would want to learn about them voluntarily. Every flipping building we enter, "ooh, not to be annoying, but look at this! They have xyz!"
Have you ever noticed the smoke detectors in line at Disney? Because I've been forced to. And they must have gotten special permits or something because they're outside of regular code rules. God bless him.
