Smoke detector in the high school cooking classroom.

At my high school, they had a smoke detector in the cooking classroom. Surely a heat detector would have been better for the classroom? A smoke detector in a cooking classroom can cause false alarms due to the cooking.

Are you sure it was a smoke detector? Sometimes some types like System Sensor’s addressable heat detectors look a lot like smokes except they have a little gray disc on the circle part of the detector head.

But yeah, that does seem a little odd.
