The false alarms you get from the heat detectors are exceedingly annoying to. My last apartment, I had heat detectors as well as carbon monoxide detectors. I could not use the oven in my kitchen without setting off the heat detector in the hallway. Literally open the door after a preheat, and the damn thing goes off. Nothing burning that should be burning (it was a gas oven after all). Lots of open doors and windows (always fun in winter Chicagoland) and waving of towels at the detector... I lived in that apartment for over 10 years... Never once had a "real" fire, but easily had hundreds of alarms. Very, very low signal to noise ratio...
