Why does your fire alarm go off randomly?

There are many reasons as to why your fire alarm may be going off randomly. One of the most common and main reasons is because of low or faulty batteries. Some will let out a little chirp while others fully alarm. The alarm could have too much dust inside or it could even be broken. There are other causes that you probably wouldn’t consider initially such as, smoke from outside seeping into your home or even high humidity can set it off. Everyday candles can set off an alarm, too. Be sure to always treat every alarm as an emergency situation just in case it is serious. It is also recommended to change the batteries every 6-12 months to ensure it is always at its full capacity.
