Then, open some windows to let the drama queen smoke alarm calm down. And hey, maybe consider checking the batteries so it doesn't cry wolf again.

Your smoke alarm goes off without fire occuring?
If the smoke alarm goes off because of steam or smoke from cooking, the alarm should be moved to a better location or a different type of sensor used. It is very dangerous to have too many false alarms because people tend to ignore them, until the one time it really is a fire, and then it may be too late. If a smoke detector makes an intermittent "chirp", not a loud and continuous alarm, it may be signalling that it is time to replace the battery. Smoke detectors should be replaced every ten years, even if they still seem to be working, since they are only designed for a limited useful lifetime.

Flame or heat detector has a contact which is made of 2 different materials which has different specific heat, İf any heat reaches to this contact according t the different specific heated material contact bends towards the more specific heated material( you can do it with copper and iron at home if you fix them with a nonmetallic material and heat them even with a lighter you will see it with your eyes) than the alarm starts because the contact touches a metallic material to give the energy to the horn or bell.( for more specific information try Notifier or Honeywell
