I like how they aren’t notifying anyone themselves.

At least if you're lucky, your Ring security system will alert you of the fire, assuming their "smoke detector listener" hears your fire alarm going off! I still can't believe their solution for detecting a fire is "put this microphone next to your smoke detector".

CHANGELOG: • Ring can now indirectly summon the firefighters and possibly ambulance services in addition to indirectly summoning the police.

Yeah, I don't care about Ring anyway.
Replying to @internetofshit
Is there a way we can get their datacenter to catch fire also?

Yeah, I have never owned a Ring and never will.

it's an ID10T issue. Screwing a Phillip's head wood screw that is twice as long as the torx head screw into a machine thread hole is not Ring's fault /rtfm
