Hi all,

What exactly are my rights about getting a flashing fire alarm set up in my apartment.

My landlord says it's up to me to install it, and I tried, but I am really having a hard time setting it up and testing it.

What kind of person can I look up in the yellow pages to install it, preferably for a low fee?

Thanks...

Flashing smoke alarm

My suggestion is this:
Call your local fire department. In Marion County, Florida- our fire department will give you a free flashing smoke detector and come over and install it. Try the fire department first.

I agree.
 
if fire department don't offer, then you would have to buy you one.
 
Grendel has the alarm but needs someone to install it.

I agree with you there. Fire department always give out free fire alarm for those who can't afford one. :) :cool2:
 
I'm sure it varies all over the country but if the fire depts install them, they are probably of the battery operated variety, not the hardwired kind.....

If the fire department can't help you, you could also try contacting an organization for the d/Deaf or HoH in your area.
 
I called the fire department and the only thing they were able to do was refer me to my local deaf services. I called the services and they were horribly mean to me. They wouldn't give me any sort of advice beyond talking to my manager, which I have already done.

Absolutely disgraceful, and I do NOT anger easily. I have nowhere to turn. I'm calling an electrician :(
