To simply sound a false alarm of fire is a misdemeanor. HOWEVER - if something happened as a result of the false alarm being sounded (e.g.: fire truck crashes and kills someone - someone falls and seriously injures themselves getting out of the building - etc) it could end up being a felony offense.
It depends..., if someone is injured or killed, or there is a wreck during the Fire Department's response to the false alarm it could be enhanced up to a felony offense.

You can have the school safety officer contact the alarm company for any necessary adjustments or replacements. Otherwise, you should leave things like that alone, to avoid causing a fire hazard and violation of fire regulations.
Yes, of course. If there is an "unscheduled fire," you would naturally want everyone to respond the same way they do during an unscheduled fire drill. Some fire departments require advance notice when a school is going to pull a fire alarm for anything other than an actual fire, but there is no particular requirement to pre-announce a fire drill to anyone inside the school.
This will vary depending on your state laws. In my state, to damage someone else's fire fighting equipment is a very serious misdemeanor, and can get you 12 months in jail. Same thing applies to pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire.

The fire alarm technician is in charge of the installation of fire alarm systems. Fire alarm systems include addressable or conventional alarm control panels, smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual button alarms, sirens and strobes, signs, etc. A professional fire alarm system is large with professional addressable bus lines alarm systems, addressable detectors for building fire security, or other special field fire security. So, the fire alarm technician should be knowledgeable in alarm systems working principles and installation.
So that when there is a fire, you can quickly leave the building without children/teachers/staff getting hurt or killed.
