Speaking of fire alarms

[pattypape]

Ryan,

Cleaning with a mild shot of compressed air is a good idea, or try a
vacuum cleaner.
Then the sensors can be tested with the vapor from a butane lighter,
If they still alarm mysteriously , I would believe the alarm and
start to check the plumbing with soap bubbles, or a leaky gas
detection solution sold at most hardware / plumbing stores.
You may have a loose or cracked fitting, This is not uncommon.
