What should I do in the event of a false fire alarm?

If a smoke detector goes off multiple times for no reason, the majority of the time the reason is due to it becoming dusty or dirty inside. A smoke detector is looking for particles in the air, and cannot distinguish between a smoke particle, a dust particle, a steam/moisture particle, or anything else that would obscure what is normally clear air. To address this issue, clean the smoke detector by vacuuming it or gently blowing air through it using an air compressor.
