False Alarm - Broken Alarm

One day I couldn't get the carbon-monoxide part of my smoke detector wouldn't stop going off.  I call the fire department to see what they recommended.  They recommended sending a truck out.  I fiddle with it for awhile more, and then finally called a back.  They must have been pretty slow because they send a police car and a ton of trucks.  It was so embarrassing.  Also, it was a faulty alarm.  Sigh.  At least we were all safe...right?  So embarrassing. 

Like how the mail truck came durring all this? 

At least the cop was funny.  He got there first and while we waited my next door neighbor came home.  He asked me if I wanted him to throw me down in the snow and hand cuff me to make a good show.
