"So how did this NOT set off the fire or smoke alarms?"

Sometimes smoke detectors aren't a good idea in labs and they install heat rise monitors to detect a fire. If the heat doesn't rise fast enough or hit a high enough temperature, it wouldn't get set off. I've baked things that never quite caught fire but were reduced to a black lump and an offensive smell.
