Question:

My smoke detectors go off when I open doors or windows?

We moved to a 18 month old house in Louisiana. Every time we open the doors or windows to air out the house the smoke detectors start beeping. I have changed the battery backup (they are electric) and nothing seems to work. The air here is rarely dry or dusty and nothing is burning outside. I have called the fire department and i can't get any answers. I have a smoke detector in every room of my house and all of them do the same thing when windows are open. Anyone have any suggestions??? Please help, signed DESPERATE FOR OUTSIDE AIR

Uhhh..Big fire, big hose..little fire, little hose.
You'll be told what to do by the senior officer present. The first and most important lesson to learn is to follow directions EXACTLY! Don't worry, you won't be in the way. The chief and his/her assistants know best how to use your skills.
It should have a test button, press that and see if it goes, WAA WAA WAA WAA
