Odds are you need a carbon monoxide/smoke detector. When it goes, it frequently sets off all the other alarms. Take it down, purchase a new one, call the Fire Department and they'll happily install it for you. They'll also replace all of your batteries. This is done at no charge -- they'd much rather do it for you so that they don't have to come when you've fallen off the ladder. Plus, they know if they install them, they've been installed correctly.
