Being called into work so missing golf. In hindsight perhaps not the worse thing but came back significantly more stressed than I went in

How do they know that it’s not a fire blazing away ?

Because it was a routine prearranged check!

Perhaps the risk is that then they're one short of a full crew should an emergency call come in.

I suspect that this is the answer....if the crew is all there they can abort what they're doing and respond to a "shout"

If it’s a prearranged check then they all need to go just in case there is a call out on the way there or whilst there so the crew isn’t split

Really guys based on recent posts you do look to argue the toss about a 'personal' irritation.
I did not write an epistle which would give chapter and verse. The issue just irritated me, I was not annoyed neither was I incandescent with rage. It just struck me that, on the face of it, 4 guys in a large appliance parked across my drive to check my neighbour's alarm was a bit over the top. I hope I have your permission for holding that view!
I think COVID and short days means cabin fever is setting in.

Maybe sometimes people are trying to be helpful and remove your random irritation.
The Home Fire Safety Visits are a free service offered by all Fire Services to anyone who requests one, I believe some of these these visits are carried out by the crew on shift during quieter periods of a shift and is done to keep the crew together should a “shout” come in.
LFB visited over 80,000 homes in London last year, possibly saving hundreds of lives.

@hovis or other Firecrew could explain better and maybe prevent you being randomly irritated in the future.

Home fire checks are performed mainly by dedicated technicians in a van. Fire crews are tasked with performing the higher risk ones, mopping up after the technicians and finally we do the ones that come in over the weekend. Durring the visit the crew remains available and ready to roll if a fire call comes in. You say it is over the top to have a fire engine on your street? Then it will definitely be over the top when 4 off them are parked on your street should there be a fire because they didn't have a smoke alarm.
Despite popular belief fire crews don't sit around playing pool, table tennis and volleyball. If we're not fitting smoke alarms we're inspecting high risk business premises for familiarisation purposes should the place go up in flames.
I don't understand why this irritated you. Did they park across your drive? We do that alot ?
I'd like to add my irritation of the day too. People who call 999 at 3.00am to say their alarm is bleeping. When we get there they say "it's been doing it all day" ????

I don't think carbon monoxide detectors need to be interlinked to the smoke and heat detectors.

I prefer them separate, with different sounds.

I'd like ring to launch their joint one in UK just for kitchen
Only because my monoxide monitor is in there and prob wouldn't hear with all doors closed but smoke alarm is linked all 3 floors after the extension had to have it
Would like a smoke alarm from ring to alert me if I'm not home or if we home for the carbon

When they are due to be renewed change them to Aico. They do multisensor CO/Heat alarms.
Tired in the extreme. ‘Twas the bowling club’s annual dinner last night. The Good was it was a fab night and great full English on the terrace this morning… but oh so tired now.

Thought you would be having tortilla, pata negra y queso para desayuno ahora, not The Costa del Sol guires stuff!
Without going back seem to recall you were in the semi final of some bowling comp. What was the final outcome Brian please?
I needed a decent, greasy breakfast after an evening of wine and brandy, lots of brandy.
The semi-final went well. And the final was played against a guy who had never lost a final… he has now. It was first to 21. I was 18-14 down and he was holding 3, match lie, and I had one bowl to play. I pinched the end and clawed my way to a 21-18 win.
