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.

That's a bit specious, dont you think? YOu're saying firefighters throw all caution to the wind in an emergency?

I don't think so.

But since I have a friend in the NYFD (and his father and brother) I'll ask him and see if he agrees with that statement.
