Fed up

For the past few days, we've been having problems with a malfunctioning fire alarm. It keeps going off, even though there is no fire. Most of the time it would just give 3 beeps and be done (until about 15 minutes later when it would go off again). Sometimes it would go off at 4:30 in the morning. It's not quite the wake up call I wanted. But twice now, it has given off a constistant alarm for about 20-30 minutes straight. It's extremely loud and you can't stand to be inside the apartment. Last night, we had enough. Fortunately, Bryan's folks were willing to put us up for the night. After talking with our apartment management, I found out that aparently, the FACP had gotten fried during a recent thunderstorm and the whole complex was affected. The control panel is supposed to be replaced today. On a positive note, I suppose we should be grateful that the sprinklers didn't malfunction, too.
