New ones had the same pigtail as the old one (both were Kiddie brand), but I did have one I had to rewire. As far as I can tell, they do not have a dedicated circuit, so I had to shut down the entire house.

It was a space heater, I had it on a timer (we had no heating in that part of the house) and I thought I had turned it off. My laundry pile was too close to the heater, it ignited the laundry which caused the can to rupture.
The fire was isolated to my room, and my dad and I got it extinguished before the fire department arrived. We lived 20 miles outside town.
I forget what the exact cause was listed as in the report, but it was not the same as the actual cause.

RIP. Please get at least one.

As I mentioned in another comment, I almost died in a house fire. I had an aerosol can in a pile of clothes that caught fire from a heater, that can exploded and woke me. Otherwise I would have slept through the fire.
Your comment hits me really hard (I am sure not as hard as being on scene where they did not have detectors). But reading some of the dismissive comments I was starting to think I was over reacting, you assured me I was not.

The instructions in the box (who reads those right?) says to test monthly.

Maybe, if it is made past a certain date. Mine in the image, from 2005, did not.

I was looking at one of those when I was buying new detectors.
- Comment on YSK Your smoke detectors should be replaced every 7-10 years 3 days ago:
Decades ago i survived a house only because I had left an empty aerosol can of mousse in a pile of clothes. That pile started burning and caused the can to explode and wake me. Otherwise the fire would have consumed me as well.

The closest detector to the kitchen was in a bed room.
There had been a different detector in the living room but had gotten knocked down a while ago and broke (and never replaced), it was not on the interlink system, and when the other detectors would go off while cooking the one in the living room would not.
As you can see from my image, the detectors I replaced were from 2005, and needed replacing for quite some time.

ALSO sorry about my users spamming posts here! The community creation screen has a checkbox that automatically creates a post her when a community is created. I’ll make a post about it so people are aware.
Making a post will not do much, you may want to disable it totally, or the very least have it disabled by default.

When Gen X wanted to “protect children” from the media they created a mass surveillance state…
I thought that was boomers too.

You proof read this post, and a comma was the only error you found?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Edit: comma :)
You took the time to edit, announce that you made an edit, and all you did was add/remove a comma?

The Element application is solid now.
Eh, kind of. I have almost 300 unread message notifications I cannot get rid of. I have scrolled up as far as I can then slowly back down. I have gone into threads and done the same.

- Comment on Kill Bill and Charlies Angel have the same vibes, almost like Kill Bill is just a Rated R version of the Charlies Angel movie. 3 weeks ago:
One big difference between the two, I have managed to watch Charlie’s Angels. I think 20 minutes is the most of Kill Bill I have watched before falling asleep or turning it off.
I had pretty bad insomnia for years, the cure? I kept kill bill in the dvd player.

That sounds like something a chatbot turning into Skynet would say.
