The Bridger Canyon Women's Club provides dinner for the
Volunteer Fire Department on the evening of their monthly
fire fighter training.
They usually have the dinner at the fire station,
but for October we invited them to meet at our house before
training.
Many of them helped fight the fire that destroyed the
original house.
Appropriate to the occasion,
one of the smoke detectors sounded an alarm several times at
random intervals during dinner.
We think there are insects crawling in and out of that
detector.
In fact,
smoke detectors at the Carriage House had exhibited this behavior in
years before and were doing it again,
suggesting a relationship to the life cycle of an insect.
Blowing out the offending devices with compressed air
appears to have solved the problem
(for now).
