Assuming something obvious, like burning something in the oven, wasn't the apparent cause...
1. I'd immediately make sure I knew where everyone was at and have them gather near an exit.
2. Investigate the cause of the alarm. Check all of the detectors and try to determine which one has sensed an alarm condition.
3. If there is no sign of fire, I'd reset the alarm and fan/vacuum the detector.
4. Obviously is there was a fire, I'd grab the extinguisher and attempt to put it out while someone else called 911.
5. Have other family members evacuate until the situation was safe.
6. Leave myself if I can do no more good or my own life became threatened. (Grabbing my wallet, cell phone, and car keys on the way out the door, if I could safely get them.)

sadly, nothing. the fire alarm goes off all the time in my house either from cooking or a fire in the fireplace with too much smoke. it happens so often that when we hear it we just take the batteries out and go back to whatever we're doing. we should probably stop before there is an actual fire though...

I'd check the battery. Then I'd check for something burning. My alarm has only ever gone off because 1. the battery was low, 2. I burned toast in the oven.

I would look to see what the problem was...... sometimes it's not a fire that sets the alarm off. And if it was a fire I'd get my fire extinguisher.

wait by the phone and answer it when the alarm center calls and laugh...because my alarm goes off for no reason aaaaallll the time. I think is the basement spirit...i think he sets it off.

Probably look at it in amazment, then lay down my laptop and walk around the house to see where it was coming from. Not exactly the safest procedure is it?

walk casually around the house looking for the fire
