Question:

Do you pulled the fire alarm do the fire sprinklers go off?

If you pulled the fire alarm do the fire sprinklers go off

Answer:

Kimmy, The only safety equipment mandated by law is the helmet. You have indicated that you will wear one. Wise choice. As far as the other equipment, it is up to you. You can find non-leather equipment to wear, and jeans are 100% cotton, so that shouldn't be an issue. A denim jacket also can be worn instead of a leather one. Good luck, and happy riding.
if you have a water heater, check it. feel for air coming out of the top of it. that is carbon m.
Very likely that they need new batteries.
it should be fine just putting the pin back in it and checking the mounting bracket for maybe a loose screw or hold down on the buckle of the clip if you ever have questions about any fire safety apparatus your local fire department will be happy to look at if for you for free - sometimes they give tours of the house, that's always fun they can check to see if you extinguisher is in good shape or if you need a new one or if you have a really expensive one they can recharge it for you
Combination of previous answers. There are 2 sources of carbon-monoxide in your home, your car running in the garage, or a malfunctioning furnace or water-heater. Obviously if your car is not running in the garage, you can rule that one out. If you don't have gas appliances you can rule that one out. If you do have gas appliances, call the gas company or fire-department to come inspect your home. You can smell the natural gas that runs the appliances, but you can't smell the exhaust from the appliances. Carbon-monoxide detectors don't detect natural gas leaks, they detect an exhaust leak. Side-note: Natural gas is odorless too, but the gas company adds that funky smell to it so leaks can be detected. It is recommended that all your smoke and carbon-monoxide detector batteries be changed once a year to keep the units serviceable. Another side-note, and maybe the first thing you want to try; the carbon-monoxide detectors are more ultra-sensitive than the smoke detectors so they tend to give false readings more quickly from common dust particles in the air. If you have some compressed air like in a can of computer keyboard cleaner, squirt some of that into the CM detector and see if that shuts it off. Chirping is an indicator that your batteries are going dead.
