Just because it’s the system doesn’t mean it’s correct, same with any job/industry 

I completely agree with you.

But we're just the little men/women (or plant pots for those that identify as such) and what do we know?

Politics eh?

We have had Fireangel smoke alarms in various caravans we have owned and several did this annoying occasional bleeps.  Latest is 6 years old and I have removed the fireangel battery. Still have the carbon monoxide working and checked regularly.

Ionisation fire alarms are pretty much deprecated nowadays and will be hard to find from the major makers.  (Radioactive isotope issues when storing / shipping and also recycling).

Ya I remember watching a episode of Young Sheldon, he was collecting large amounts of old alarms to harness the isotope. Unti the fbi turned up.Quite funny 😄

We have a couple carbon monoxide alarms - never had a problem with those.

Just the smoke detectors.

In the UK, most Fire Rescue Services offer a free home fire safety check, I had one and it was they (not just one but three gorgeous firemen!) who fitted our two smoke alarms. You could contact your local Fire Service and ask for the same. We didn't have to pay for the alarms, either. But don't tell everyone! I believe you can apply online, so it couldn't be easier. 

What waste of rate payers money, sending 3 men to fit smoke detectors, not to mention the cost of the appliance they drove in.
Yes this free service has been around for a few years, and abused by those who can afford to replace/fit there own. Someone disabled or on low income then that’s fine.
But sending 3 people is telling me there overstaffed, we’ve had them in our cul de sac blocking it with there appliance. No need when they have small vehicles galore.

What's the cost difference on wages if they were sat at the Fire Station watching TV, then handing them out to any one who knocked on the door?

We had two replaced by the Fire Brigade last year - they asked if we were able to fit them ourselves and a person in a car just dropped them on the doorstep for us.
