About 18 months ago ours went off at about 3:00am. Just one was chirping, then gradually several others joined the chirping and my other half was out of his mind. He finally pulled all batteries and went back to bed.
The next day we called the Fire Dept. to ask for assistance. Within 10 minutes we had the biggest fire and rescue truck you have ever seen outside our house, which, of course, brought out all the neighbors to see what was going on. There was a crew of very young fire persons who checked every detector in the house, told my husband to go to Ace and buy all new batteries and one new detector which was faulty, and they put all the batteries in and replaced the faulty detector - they must have been there for about two hours. They told us they do this as a routine courtesy for TV residents and we should call them every six months for this FREE service. Their number is Fire Safety 205-8280.
