The good, the bad...

Good: The Lowell fire department responds promptly and in significant force to a fire alarm in my condo building.
Bad: Discovering this when the fire alarm went off and woke me from a dead sleep. Good grief is that loud...

It turned out to be a false alarm. I just hope that it was in the alarm system itself (i.e. no random asshat pulled the alarm) and that it gets fixed quickly.
