what can be done about people disabling their smoke alarms?

5 people in New York City died after there was a fire and their smoke alarm was disabled.

    Maybe if the people who make the fire alarms design the alarms to be less annoying. But no matter what people should not disable fire alarms, because things like that will happen.

    The law should be rewritten to have all alarms hard wired into the electrical system and then they cannot be disabled.
