Yes I have a suggestion. Go to Ace Hardware and get the new smoke detectors if you really need them. If your smoke detectors are over eight years old you need to replace them. Then every six months call the nonemergency fire department number after you have purchased enough batteries to replace every smoke detector battery including carbon monoxide detector. That way you don't have to worry about which one is beeping. The fire department does this free of charge but you have to call first thing in the morning and they will be there sometime that day. They will give you an idea of what time they will be there. That is a wonderful benefit that are fire department provides here.
