But singed toast isnt a fire, nor is smoking. They also go off when frying, when there's no fire. But soon will be if you dont turn the heat down.

False alarm or nuisance trip

It is not really a false alarm if some one burns the toast, the alarm is doing exactly what it should. Would nuisance trip be a better term?

But singed toast isnt a fire, nor is smoking. They also go off when frying, when there's no fire. But soon will be if you dont turn the heat down.

I suppose the question then is what is the purpose of the detectors. I think its fire protection rather than toast brownness detection. NT 14:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
