That starts with a loud siren followed by directions for searchers, fire brigade and first aid.
I had just laid my head down after packing and cleaning and getting ready to go out for a few days and I hear the alarm go off. I cannot ignore it because I am a searcher, so I throw on my snow pants, a sweater, jacket, hat, gloves, socks, boots and headlamp and go outside where I can hear the directions more clearly.
Same place as it was yesterday morning. That means there is a faulty sensor, still we must treat it like a real alarm and do all of the normal responses.
Luckily it is not cold out at all, 29 and overcast. Now I am back in bed and hoping for 3-4 hours of sleep.
Honestly I have nothing to complain about, but I do curse quite loudly when I hear that the alarm go off in the middle of the night, it is almost always nothing.
