I have a fire alarm in my house on the ceiling that keeps beeping. I tried to take out it's battery but it kept beeping. I don't think we have any batteries to replace it since it says it will beep when low on betteries.Does anybody know how to stop it's beeping?

It is probably a hardwired unit. It is beeping to tell you the battery is dead or missing. The only way to stop it is to replace the battery.
You could flip the breaker that the alarm is on to stop it but that is very unwise. Just replace the battery and be safe.

If you actually took the battery out and it was still beeping, it must be getting power from somewhere else. Some fire alarms use power from the building wiring and use the battery only as a back-up supply in case of power failure. This might not apply to your case, but its a suggestion.

Yes it does sound like its hard wired the batt is just in there in case the main power fails batt back up just replace the batt and it should be fine a fire alarm is no good without power or a batt be safe
