In Hell, will the fire extinguishers be filled with gasoline?
Yes, have them do a smoke test. This will tell them if the ionizing detector is working or not. I could be bad, but when the button is pushed, it will still go off. This doesn't mean the detector works, it only means that the alarm works.
I would say it isn't safe to use. You should never use an electric blanket with really young children who aren't capable of realizing they are too hot and removing the blanket. If you want to lay the electric blanket on his bed for a while before bedtime so that it warms the bed up then that would be ok. Then either remove the blanket or at least turn it off when you put him to bed. His body heat should keep him warm during the night. You should also make sure he wears warm pajamas at night so he doesn't get too cold.
Definitely call maintenance! If you have smoke in your house and the smoke alarm doesn't go off then you have a problem. If you press the button to check a smoke detector all you are doing is seeing if the battery is dead. You are not checking the sensor that detects the smoke. With kids in the house i would have a smoke alarm in almost every room. As some of the people responded it might be that the smoke isn't getting to the alarm. Take it outside and burn something under it to see if it goes off. If you cant take it outside do it inside but be careful. It sounds like you live in an apartment, but you can buy your own smoke detectors. Smoke detectors are pretty cheap, and how would you feel if you got a fire because you didn't want to spend $20 or $30 to buy a couple more to put in a few more rooms.
