On US Navy ships, one of the first indications of a casualty is that ventilation stops, either via loss of electrical power or on purpose to prevent the spread of smoke. I now have an acute response when any fans suddenly turn off.

“Fire, Fire in the Engine Room-”

Look at Mr. Social Butterfly over here, going out and overhearing people.
The second a smoke alarm starts the low battery beeping in my house, I’m wide awake. I don’t know how someone can sleep through it.

Me
Almost me, except I had to get up and check the window, when it sounded like my cat clawing at it. It wasn’t my cat. It was a middle aged woman who was cutting my bedroom screen open. After opening my curtains she ran away, so nothing happened. But I had to get my screen fixed. And I was scared to sleep in my bedroom for a month, and with lights on.
