Problem 1...... Whomever required a smoke detector in the area of the kitchen has cranial inversion issues. As per the NFPA 72 ( fire alarm code) please change said detector if within 30 ft of a cooking appliance to a heat detector in order to alleviate nuisance alarms.
That way the issue is easily resolved and no more FF showing up in a huff cause nothings burning and no holes can be cut in the roof etc. All that said, if there is an alarm of any kind quite honestly everyone should exit the building. The silencing of the alarm by authorized personnel is not an issue if it already went out automatic to 911 or a monitoring company.
If the alarm is a newer type silencing the horns will not alter what caused the alarm anyway... FD walks in the front door, check the address of the alarm device, goes to said place to then say.... Nope, no fire. No idea of how OH does things but I had a fire person threaten to write me a citation at one point.... "feel free to get the citation out so I can make sure you fill it in correctly, and what's your badge number btw cause mine is "CE 21xxxx". Got real pin drop quiet at that moment.
I work as what is typically called a Fire Marshal,,, review plans,inspect construction of all systems, electrical,plumbing,structure,fire alarm & sprinkler.
If you have any further questions regarding I'll be glad to help.
