Yes, they'll change the batteries. You have to provide the batteries and a ladder though. They say the ladders on their trucks are filthy and don't think you'd be very happy if they put them up against your pretty walls.
They say they'd rather change your batteries than respond to a medical emergency after you fall off your ladder. To reach them just call your local fire house, NOT 911.
