Um, if the police or firemen were answering a call, there'd either a. be someone there to disable the system or b. the police probably wouldn't be high on coke and would be able to read, therefore avoiding a nasty shock.

The chances of someone being there to disarm the 'booby trap' during a fire are pretty low since most fires occur after hours at these places. And, firefighters don't look for alarm signs when answering a call.

Grandfather was and Dad and brother are firefighters. One thing I've learned: One of the first thing that happens in a fire is that the power goes out. Poof.
