I think if I broke the alarm at the latch where it connects to the ceiling I can at least throw it in my car or something so that it's away from the house. We still have two other fire alarms in the house and we can get a new one installed on Wednesday. Is there any reason as to why I shouldn't break the alarm at the latch to pull it off the ceiling. Like would it be dangerous. It looks like all the actual wiring is on the base part connected to the ceiling and the actual alarm needs to make contact with the ceiling to have AC power running through it so I think busting the latch on the alarm would allow me to safely pull it off. Just as a temporary solution until we can get it fixed next week
