You will get in big trouble and the fire department will show up, usually.
Many fire alarms emit an ink that is visible under ultraviolet light so that the person who set it off can be identified and punished accordingly.

∙ 11y agoYou could get a heavy fine, a good telling off or be arrested. It's also very inconvenient, so don't do it. If you're a student doing it in a school, you could well get suspended/expelled from your school.
You'll probably get caught on CCTV.
Maybe get arrested, depending on where you are/where you set off the fire alarm.
If anyone is hurt or property is damaged, you will be liable and your parents can be sued for the costs. If anyone is killed, say, a firefighter slips and breaks his neck, it would be your fault and you could go to prison for a very long time.

∙ 11y agoPull a fire alarm for no reason: Then the fire alarm goes off for no reason, people evacuate the building for no reason (and could be injured or killed doing do), the fire department responds because they have no way of knowing that there is no actual fire, people can be injured or killed for no reason as firefighters are responding to what they believe is a fire that endangers people, and the person causing the false alarm can be fined, fired from their job, expelled from their school, sent to prison and sued for any damage or injuries resulting from their callous disregard for the safety of others.
When there have been too many false alarms, people also tend to ignore the alarms when there is an actual emergency, resulting in unnecessary injuries or death, so pulling a false alarm is never a good thing.

Are school administrators permitted to pull a fire alarm without a scheduled test?
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.

Can a fire alarm take pictures of you if you pull it?
No, it can't take a picture of you. But it can spray ink on you, that will mark you. And probably your fingerprints will be on the alarm.
Can you hang or put anything on a fire alarm pull station?
No! You can't hang or obstruct a fire alarm pull station at any time. To do so would mean you are breaking Health & Safety Regulations (and would probably invalidate your insurance, should there be a fire).
If a fire occures in school kitchen what precaution should you take?
Your question poses questions of its own. If a fire occurs in a school kitchen the precautions have already been ignored. If a fire does occur and it is under the hood suppression system, pull the fire alarm pull station and the hood suppression pull station on your way out of the building. This alerts the building occupants of the hazard and is a first line approach to dousing the fire. Evacuate and let the fire department do the rest. If you have been properly trained you may choose to use the fire extinguisher. Do so only after pulling the fire alarm pull station to begin evacuation of the school. Use the fire extinguisher by applying the PASS method. Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep back and forth until the fire is extinguished. Make certain you are using the correct type of fire extinguisher for the type of fire. You will learn the appropriate types of extinguishers upon taking fire extinguisher training. Good luck!

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.
