Thankfully, I've figured out that it isn't the detector that requires a ladder to get to. I unplugged the other two and took out the batteries. Problem solved. Tonight I'll clean them and get them back up and hopefully things will be back to normal.
The alarm thing is interesting. We do have an alarm system, but we don't use it and the battery is definitely dead. I wonder if that's why the detectors give a quick beep every so often.
Thanks for all the help guys.

You should replace them, not clean them. I'm no fireman but what you have is not working properly. Drop an e-mail to the Fire Department and I'll bet they say if they are over 10 years old you should replace them wether they are working correctly or not.
