E-brake light...

Hope this isn't a repost, but my E-brake light keeps coming on for no apparent reason while driving. The only pattern I can find is it usually comes on after a cold start in the morning and i'm in the middle of going through 1st. I'm not even pushing the car hard especially when I first start it but for whatever reason the light comes on. As far as going off I've found no pattern whatsoever other than it going off a couple times when I've come to a dead stop for a red light. But most of the time its random, I'll just happen to glance down once in a while and its gone. Nothing feels or sounds different so...anyone know what it means?

Low brake fluid level in the reservoir. Read the owners manual and then check the fluid.

That was actually one of the first things I did was check my fluids and went to the manual. All were topped during the mishaps.
