[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mvlandsw There is a new theory on the transmission of electricity. It is based on the observation that electrical devices cease to function after smoke is released from them. Therefore electricity must transmitted by smoke in the wires and not by electrons as commonly believed. [/quote]I'm an Electrician, so trust me when I say "It won't arc THAT far!", and for those of you who have "hard wired" smoke detectors, throw them in the trash and go buy some that have a "battery back-up", because when your house catches on fire, the wiring melts, and short circuits, tripping the breaker(sometimes the MAIN breaker), when that happens, you are up the creek without a paddle if there isn't a battery supplying electricity to your detectors!! stay safe and change your batteries in smoke detectors every 6 months..... whether it needs it or not! Batteries are cheaper than medical bills, or worse yet, a funeral!
