About an hour ago the smoke detector in my house started emitting intermittent ear-splitting beeps at roughly 30-60 second intervals. This detector is wired into the home's electrical system.
I've tried blowing vigorously into it to dislodge any dust, and then reconnecting and pushing reset button. I also have tried to open up the detector part itself to see if there's a backup battery that needs replacing, but it feels like I'm going to have to break it to get it open.
Nothing helps, and in fact something in the ceiling is still beeping even though I've disconnected the smoke detector and all its attached wiring, and also shut off the circuit breaker to that part of the house.
I have not been cooking anything all day, nor doing anything else that would produce smoke or dust.
FWIW, the detector is a Kidde model 1235. I found the manual on line, but it doesn't have anything particularly useful to say.
Halp???

Also, in a lot of places if you call your local fire department and explain what's going on, they will come out and take a look at it for free. I'm not sure that all of them do this, but over here they'll do it. Maybe that's just a small town thing though.

Just to catch up -- yeah, it doesn't appear that this specific model has a battery backup. I should clarify that the 'beeping' and 'chirping' are the same noise -- that sharp, short sort of warning beep that detectors typically give off when batteries are low.
And, most creepily, it did indeed continue with the beep/chirp even after the detector was disconnected, the wiring was disconnected, and the power was shut off. I have NO idea. But I have an electrician coming over tomorrow to take a look-see. I guess it could be a CO detector, but there's no outward sign of one ..
Thanks, everyone, for your helpful ideas and suggestions!

I don't know why it's now stopped (given that I don't know why it started in the first place), but I tell you, if it starts again tonight, I'm going to thump my head against the wall a few times.
The current plan is to have an electrician come by and replace the current setup with a battery-powered one, on the grounds that it should be relatively easy to replace a freakin' battery, as distinct from messing around with hard-wired arrangements.
(Dear GOD, there are times I miss being a renter...)

However, the chirping is also used to notify you that the detector (from age or defect) needs repair or replacement. So if it needs attention, the chirping starts.
So, here's what happened: the unit started chirping to tell you it needed attention. When you finally disconnected the power, it continued to chirp, but this time to tell you the power was disconnected. When the capacitor ran out, so did the chirp.
Chuck it and get a new one.

Most smoke detectors use Americium-241 as a radiation source, which has a half-life of 432 years. So, it's not likely that the radiation source is the problem. It's more likely that one or more of the electronic components have failed.

I think we're paying like $12 for a 10-year batteried-hushable detector. Soooo much better than what was in place when we got the house.

They do have a capacitor in there somewhere. Hit the Test button and that should drain the cap pretty quickly.

Yeah. There was another smoke detector, stuck up on the wall right above the door, half-hidden by the door molding, which I had somehow completely overlooked. A battery-operated smoke detector. Whose battery was going bad. And which was close enough to the site of the original smoke detector that it was hard to tell the noise was coming from a different location.
So, problem solved, and the takeaway for those of you reading along at home: in 99.5% of hardware/tech glitches where you're waving your arms and shrieking 'I tried EVERYTHING!!' the problem is with the diagnosis, not the solution. Thanks again to everyone who commented and advised!
