Got a little bit of a contradiction there ...... don't cha Bobby!

You say you don't do commercial fire but you install smoke detectors in
a business building, connected to a residential burglar/fire alarm
panel ............. and don't think that there's something wrong with
that?

I'm not familiar with Canadian code, but I'd think that it's got to be
pretty close to what's required in the U.S. If you're gonna install
*any* fire detection at all in a commercial building, it'd better be to
code. There's no such thing as "some protection is better than none "
..........So we'll just put a few little ole smoke thingys here and
there to give everyone a reeeeeally great false sense of security.

That only works until the fire marshal finds out about it or worse,
there's a fire. At that point ......... you'd better be signing all
your possession over to your wife and packin away anything that's
important to you and hiding it someplace, cuz you aint gonna own a damn
thing for a long time.
