I wouldn't want anyone to wire a smoke detector to an AFCI breaker in my house let alone anyones. If the breaker works and turns off the circuit, it would have done it because it sensed an overcurrent condition or an arc fault. Hopefully this arc fault that it sensed doesn't start a fire because if you don't have a battery backup in your smoke you might just have a very long sleep.
