Fire alarm went off

It was the first day for twins new nanny. Twins had much fun at school yard and didn't come back home until 6pm. Shortly after they came back, fire alarm went off. It was such a ringing sound. They went down by the stairs and the fire truck arrived. It turned out to be one of the residents lit sparkler and that set off the fire alarm. It's good that there was no real fire but please, don't light up a sparkler indoor.
