Default New smoke detector

Purchase a new smoke detector. Then Call the non emergency number for the fire department. They will install new detector for you.

My smoke detector has been peeping for days now. I have put 3 new batteries in it and it doesn't help, so don't think it's the battery. I'm assuming the whole unit may need to be changed out? It's not one of the "master" detectors. I have opened the cover and tried to unplug the wires from the cover, but I can't get that plug out, I even tried to pull it out with pliers, won't budge.

Does anyone know how I can shut it up until I can get it changed out? How do I change it out? Where and what kind do I buy? Does it require an electrician to do this?

Help, I need to shut it up, I'm going to hit it with a hammer soon.
(Just kidding on that last part, I think)
