Pouch Long Beach Happening | Barbeque Smoke Alarm

DSCN4128

Suddenly, with no tenants on property, the fire alarm goes off. Larry and I look at each other puzzled. We respond to find no smoke or fire anywhere on the property. After silencing the alarm and speaking to RFI and the fire department, the facility returns to tranquility again. An hour before closing, the alarm goes off again. Once again we search for the source of the alarm to no avail. This time, we only spoke to RFI and shortly after, the fire department arrived. After resetting the system, they leave. We are still puzzled and concerned that the alarm will go off again during the course of the evening. Upon retrieving my vehicle near the end of the work day, I discover a strong, smoky barbeque smell coming from the nearby property. It is to my deduction that the smoke alarm was tripping when the smoky barbeque would enter the slotted vents nearest the detector. That must have been one heck of a dinner if the fire department had to respond. Never a dull moment at Long Beach.
