There should be a button somewhere on the alarm. Push and hold it for a sec, if it goes off then it is still working. Normally if a battery is dying in a fire alarm, they will start beeping, a very loud and annoying beep. Our alarms are hardwired, so they beep even if the battery is dead or not in there until we put a new one in. As for the downed electrical wire, I would call and electrician in for that. That could be very dangerous.
your smoke alarm, should have a test button on it, if not, it is hard wired. In the case of a hardwired smoke alarm, without electricity, it doesn't function, unless, it has a back-up battery. Any unit with a battery, should have a test button.
Smoke Alarm Maintenance Tips: Test smoke alarms once a month by pushing the “test button.” Install new batteries at least once a year. Clean smoke alarms using a vacuum cleaner without removing the alarm’s cover. Replace smoke alarms every 10 years. For a downed electrical wire, call your power company.
