We have recently had a Brinks Home Security system installed; not because we live in a bad area (which you can tell from some of our photos, but because it lowered our homeowners insurance considerably). I've been wondering if it really works and how long it would take someone to respond if the alarm went off. On Monday we had a chance to test it. My little niece accidentally hit the "fire alarm button" and set off the alarm. Within seconds, Brinks called to see if we were ok or needed assistance. We had turned the alarm off but forgot to hit the "cancel" button. It's a no-no when you forget to hit "cancel". While I was on the phone with Brinks, we could hear the fire sirens in the background. The fire truck arrived with several firemen. Rick went out to assure them that we were ok; it was accidental. I offered them a dessert, but they declined. Several of our neighbors came out to their porches to see what all the commotion was about. Needless to say, it was a memorable afternoon.
