I think this is the most likely answer. We had that recently too and I have 4 smoke detectors in a normal sized apartment. A bit paranoid in my opinion. A carbon monoxide detector is sensible perhaps.
This is a clear case of corruption in my opinion. In my country there are 500 death by year through burning and that includes traffic victims. I would guess a single digit percentile from that would really be cause by a fire in your home.
