Obnoxious fire alarm in my apartment scares baby. Alarms have all been false so far - I would like to mute the alarm so it's not so piercing - I have excellent hearing so I'm not worried that I wouldn't hear it in the case of emergency, even if it is muted. Anyone have any ideas on where/who sells a good baffle to place over speaker? Size appx. 5 inch radius circle.How to mute fire alarm in my apt-I have baby.(all false so far-I have xlnt hearing, no worries I wont hear it)
It is probably illegal where you live to tamper with it in any way. Perhaps you can bring it up with your landlordHow to mute fire alarm in my apt-I have baby.(all false so far-I have xlnt hearing, no worries I wont hear it)
I believe they are called photoelectric fire detectors. They are not triggered the same way as a normal smoke detector, so they might work better in your situation. You might just try replacing the existing unit with a new model. You probably should spend a little extra money on a name brand unit. New and better technology prevents the false alarms a little better.
Open the cover and you'll see the little speaker/siren thing. Stuff it with a cotton ball then tape a quarter or a nickel over it. It should still be loud, only muffled somewhat. I did something similar with my phone that had an obnoxiously loud ringer.
Depending on the building codes for where you live it may have a carbon monoxide detector in the unit. Call your landlord and explain what's happening. If it bothers you that much take out the batteries and buy a new one. The newer ones are less sensitive to every day household smoke, cigarettes, cooking etc...Hope this helps and baby gets good nights sleep!!!
if you live in an apt you might consider your neighbor's they might not have good hearing if it is a central alarm be carefull it may automatically call the fire dept if you mess with it it will go off ask the office if maintenance can do something that is why you pay rent

If the Antichrist and the False Phrophet already know they'll be cast into the Lake of Fire, why bother?
If the prophecies in the Book of Revelation already give a play by play of how things are going to go down during Tribulation, why would the Antichrist waste his time, if he knows he will be defeated?
What's the point?If the Antichrist and the False Phrophet already know they'll be cast into the Lake of Fire, why bother?
If they don't get tossed into the lake of fire, who the heck is going to come to my hellish babbycue party?If the Antichrist and the False Phrophet already know they'll be cast into the Lake of Fire, why bother?
Because like those fooled into following him, he doesnt know he will lose. satan knows that God is more powerful than him, but the antichrist wont know. They will believe satan is all powerful and they will obey him. satan will raise the antichrist to life to imitate what God did for Christ. And after this many will believe that no one can defeat satan and the antichrist and the false prophet will convince everyone who is not found in the Book of Life to follow the dragon or satan.
Its all about deception. Just like some of these atheist are convinced there is no God, soon some may see these false miracles and signs and believe that satan is actually God. Then they will follow him not knowing they are being deceived. And they will be destroyed by the Almighty and the Eternal God forever and ever.
Didn't your parents tell you, don't do that, you will get hurt? Didn't you do it anyway and get hurt?
There you go.
The older you get, the more you will see that people do not take other people's advice / warnings. They just go on and do what they wanted and reap the results they were warned against.
Sometimes you are such a pessimist. If Pinky and the Brain never got off the couch to try and take over the world, where the eff would we be? If Superman's various nemeses just gave in to his obviously greater power, where would we be? If Spiderman's evil foes just laid down and gave up, where would we be? So life is hopeless and really not worth living because we're just going to get screwed (the bad kind of screwed, not the good kind) in the end; why be such a downer about it? The anti-Christ is no less a fictional character than the rest and as such is entitled to his stab at fultility for the sake of preserving the dramatic arc of his comic book series. Hope this helps to clear things up a bit!
Becasue Satan has thought from day one that he was cast out of heaven that he is greater than GOD and can defeat him or at least make his creation, (us) worship him instead of GOD. And he will be successful to a point before GOD puts a stop to it. Satan is no omnipresent like GOD...he cant be everywhere and no everything.
Some would say humans are so stupid, they can't avoid a disaster even if they're told up front it's going to happen. But, if they avoided it then the prophecy would be proven false.
Perhaps it's a game of percentages for ol' Lucy. He wants to see just how many people ignore the warnings of Revelations and still fall for his tricks. After all, he would probably prefer to claim the dumbest of the bunch. They'd be more likely to do what he says as opposed to argueing logic to him.
yep, he knows defeat is guaranteed. The thing is he doesn't want to go down alone. He plans to carry out a massive deception in which he is WORSHIPPED by the whole world, making his dream come true with the exception of christians. The rest of the world go down with him ... is his plan !
satan hates the human race.
Satan is the great deceiver unfortunately. The antichrist will be deceived thinking that they will defeat God despite of what the bible says.
It is the say way when non believers keep thinking there is no God when the world clearly shows the attribute of God. They have no excuse.
Because the Fairy Tale wouldn't work if good old Mephistopholes just gave up and laid on a tropical beach somewhere instead.
He wants to take down as many souls as possible before his end. Misery LOVES company!
Because it makes for an entertaining story for millions of gullible people thousands of years later.
Hey wouldn't this apply to why does the Coyote still chase the Road Runner. The answer there is some one else is writing the story.
Same reason an atheists like you comes in to this room, stupidity.
The point like 讛讘转 砖诇 讬讛讜讛's suggests is that he doesn't believe. Just like any other antichrist (atheist).
Satan doesn't know anything else to do but what he is doing which is rebelling.
and where would the fun be.....?
its not like as if the rest of the bible make any sense or answer ANY questions AT ALL.....
Because he doesn't think he'll be defeated.
this drama is being simulcast on pay-per-view
Its a Gig!
Do you believe what the Bible says and that it is 100% true?
They do not believe it either.
Why does a Moth constantly head for the Flame?
That's why they are waiting so long. The Antichrist is on vocation.

it will be able to “speak.” This doesn’t mean it will come to life—the Greek word here is pneuma meaning “breath” or “current” of air, not the word bios (life)—but that it will have some kind of ability to breathe forth the message of the Antichrist and the false prophet. Along with being the spokesman for them, the image will also be used to condemn to death those who refuse to worship the unholy pair. In our technological world, it is not hard to imagine such a scenario where a statue could be animated and literally appear to come to life.

False Fire Alarms - Who to call?
I've lived in my apartment building for almost a month now. I have no major complaints except that...
Over the past two weeks there have been several false fire alarms. It wasn't a big deal at first. It was going off during the day and would only go off for a minute or less at a time. I called the building manager that first day and she told me that they were working on it and the problem should be fixed shortly.
The thing is it's two weeks later and the alarms keep going off. Now its going off for 10 minutes or longer after 9 pm.
False alarms could cost people their lives because they won't be able to take the alarm seriously.
I can't find the number for Greystone, the property management company. Who else can I contact about this?False Fire Alarms - Who to call?
Start calling the fire dept.
The city will fine them if they don't get it fixed.False Fire Alarms - Who to call?
fire marshal
Sounds like an electical short is causing the alarm to go off. Has the fire dept.been out? I would call the fire dept that responds to your complex and explain to them what is going on. They will send someone out to check on the system and to speak to management about this problem. Its as bad as the boy who cried wolf......
I don't know their number, but I would call the fire department every time it goes off. I'll bet the management company will listen when the fire department tells them they're going to get fined for false alarm complaints. Good luck!!
The building probably has a problem with the alarm control panel... There could be some sort of fault or trouble with the panel causing the alarm to go off. If the panel is in view (the lobby somewhere) and not in a storage room or basement, take a look when you walk past it to notice if there are any trouble lights on. Or you can request which company has installed the alarm and phone them and explaining the problem and complain to the building manager demanding to have a technician come in to work on the system.
I found 3 phone numbers for Greystone management.
Here is the link to see it.

Does the fire department have to check the school before we are allowed back in if there is a false alarm?
Or can the custodian just turn them off and we are allowed back in? Or does it depend on the school? I remember in Elementary school when we some kid would pull the fire alarm we had to wait outside for 25 minutes until the fire department came. At my middle school when someone would pull it, we would only be outside for 5 minutes and the fire department would get there when we were already back in class. But in High school, the fire department comes.Does the fire department have to check the school before we are allowed back in if there is a false alarm?
It might be that the middle school had a system of telling which alarm was pulled.From what I've heard in my schools(I've been to 9), they have to have a firefighter check before letting you back in.Does the fire department have to check the school before we are allowed back in if there is a false alarm?
In our school the fire department has to check just because that's the rule, and make sure there is nothing wrong. They also might be checking what set it off where i live it gets REALLY cold so sometimes that sets it off a few times a day but on those really cold days we don't have to go outside we just wait by the doors or if there is an emergency we just go to the division building across the street and wait there, some students also go to the gym because it is still attached but kind out no in the main area of the school
Each school is probably different but they should wait until the fire department has the chance to inspect in case, it's not a false alarm. If something is actually wrong, people can get hurt or die if precautions are not taken and the school can be sued.
It needs to be the fire department they need to make sure nothing is wrong,and the fire alarms are not starting to malfunction.
yes -talk to the administrators about your district's policy.

Can employers fire an employee for false complaints made without giving any type of warning?
I was recently fired from my job at an Indiana prison for inappropriate and unprofessional behavior after 3 occasions of someone making false accusations against me. The complaints were not substantiated and I was never disciplined or given the chance to plead my innoscense. I never signed any type of report nor did I know what the circumstances were until I was fired. All complaints were grossly untrue and I have coworkers that would back me up. I am applying for unemployment benefits and I am also considering consulting an attorney. I am a nurse and actually work for the contract company that the Indiana prisons use. Custody was the one making all the false accusations.Can employers fire an employee for false complaints made without giving any type of warning?
This sounds not at all right!
Since when are you convicted before a trial? not to mention the harm to your reputation should you wish to work as a nurse again somewhere and they want references.
I am not familiar with US law, sorry, but I wouldn't sit still for this. It is you life and reputation and future at stake here.
I have been aware of this '3 strikes and you're out' policy at a workplace, also dealing with health care, but firstly each time the complaint comes in, it must be adressed and verified with the employee and a determination made if indeed it was warranted. Notations are made in the record of the employee and signed immediately below the last word of the statement.. positive OR negative.
There must be THREE occurances actually involving the SAME classification of infraction( in other words negligence of a patient and stealing property is NOT the same kind of infraction) before firing.
After EACH of the first two SUBSTANTIATED infractions, you are given a warning, so you are well aware and have signed that IF you repeat an offence of a similar classification FOR THE THIRD TIME, YOU ARE GONE.
Check your contract to see if this really is what you agreed to when you signed - Dismissal without hearing, trial or representation.
Do you belong to a nursing union or board where you can get help?
Do you have access to free 1 hr advice from a lawyer( check your yellow pages)
Are your co workers willing to back you up and write statements NOW while the happenings are fresh?
Have you also already done the same?
Has the contract company obligation under licence to report you to the nursing licence board?
Ask them for a copy of the claim against you and the decision in writing.
I also know of countries where firing automatically prevents claiming Unemployment benefits.please check it out.
Good luck and I hope this gets resolved in your favour !!Can employers fire an employee for false complaints made without giving any type of warning?
Check anything that you may have been given or signed when you started the job. Many documents state that you are an employee at will. I know that this pertains to most jobs in NJ.
If you didn't have a specific employment contract than you most likely were an employee at will. If you were an employee at will as wrong as it seems a company does not have to give or have a reason to let you go.
I'm not a lawyer, only describing things that I have found out the hard way. Your best bet is to file for unemployment and collect an other money due to you, like unused vacation time.
It never hurts to ask a lawyer. Most employment lawyers will give a free phone consultation. Unless you can prove blatant discrimination , you are better focusing your energies on finding a better job.
Good Luck
Consult a lawyer as soon as possible. If the allegations against you were untrue, it is possible you could sue the prison for wrongful termination.
it really depends on the company's policy,you'd better talk to the attorney at laws.
I would say that it does not sound right... check your contract. Then consult a lawyer..really! Most companies have policies that define how such issues are handled, and if you are a reasonable person who works hard, the problems can be resolved. check your contract.
