Default Special Circuit Breakers for Smoke Alarms?

Last night, something tripped the circuit breaker for the master bedroom. I went out to the garage and turned the circuit back on...or so I thought when I returned to the bedroom and the lights still weren't on. I went back out to the box and noticed a square button to the right of the breaker switch. I pushed that button and that made the lights come back on.

I've never seen that type of push button in a breaker box. Is it a special breaker for smoke alarms? I noticed the circuit breaker for the guest bedroom has that push button, too. Does the fact that the breaker had tripped indicate something wrong with the smoke alarms?

Thanks.
