On Fire Alarms

If you pull the fire alarm at 2 am on Friday night, I hate you. Period.

There are two types of fire alarms in the upperclassmen apartments. The first is just a "pull" or when someone triggers a fire alarm in the hallway by pulling the emergency switch. This causes alarms to go off in every room in the building and sets off a blaring noise that sounds like Lucifer stuck his foot in a woodchipper. It takes the shortest time to reset though, so most likely, you will only be outside for 15 minutes or so.
The other type is a personal or kitchen fire alarm. These are less intrusive. When you burn something and you set of the alarm, only your section will have the alarms activate. At the same time, it takes the fire department extra time to find out where the alarm is coming from and trek all the way up and assess the situation and deal with it. Annoying and avoidable. Just don't leave shit unattended on your stove. I feel like that should be basic knowledge.

Other notes:
Pulling a fire alarm is stupid. It is punishable by a hefty fine (some thousands of dollars), possible federal charges, almost definite academic suspension, and probably removal from housing. Plus, you're just an asshole if you pull it. Seriously.
Fire proof doors are all the rage these days. The ones in the apartments are supposed to last an hour against flame. But let's remember the real killer is smoke. So take a tip from the sorority girls and drop to your knees (to pray!). Cleaner air is lower.
