The reason we ended up using the Fire Department was because the chirping started in the middle of the night and we could not stop it. A good friend told us to call the FD and they checked out every smoke alarm and found two that were faulty, so no matter what we did we would never have stopped the damned chirping. Also you get the added bonus of have a huge fire truck pull up outside your house which gets all the neighbors very excited!

On a serious note - we apologized to the fire department for bothering them and they told us they would rather come out and climb the ladder rather than having us climb the ladder and maybe have an accident - plus we have raised ceilings so our smoke alarms are way up high. We do take a thank you offering from Publix Bakery round to the station afterwards, because they are not allowed to take a monetary contribution.
