My 5th grade student has been fooling around in school, throwing his backpack at the fire alarm and trying to set it off. We do not think it was completely intentional, but he did cause it to happen. He received a 5 day suspension, he must go to counseling and must take part in a mandatory diversion program though the police department. Plus, we had to pay a $200 fine.
On a city rail train, the consequence of pulling a fire alarm for no reason, is a fine of $200
Should be a small fine can be anywhere from 50-500 dollars.
You could be charged for NUMEROUS crimes for pulling a fire alarm falsely, depending upon whether anyone gets hurt or killed.
An adult pulling a fire alarm would get the same reward as a juvenile.If there were an actual fire, they could be thanked for their concern that may have saved lives or property.If there was not a valid reason to pull the alarm, they could be punished by the laws that define the violation and its penalties, and possibly sued by anyone injured or killed during the response to the fire alarm.

A simple fire alarm has a sensor or switch that reacts to fire or smoke and trips a device that makes noise. For instance, you could use a string pulling on a switch that is held open by the string until the string catches fire, closing the switch and ringing a bell.
Okay, i just got busted for this at my school so i have the first hand knowledge. Each activation costs about 600 dollars and is your highest possible fine. I'm only sixteen and my final sentence was 20 hours community service, supposed to be 6 months random drug testing but my lawyer had that switched to a mental health evaluation which my insurance will cover. and a three page paper written on the dangers of pulling a false fire alarm which im in the middle of working on... that's how i found your question
The punishment for falsely pulling a fire alarm varies from state to state. It also depends on what the circumstance was for pulling the alarm. For example, young children who do not know that it was a crime generally don't get punished. However, pulling the alarm as a prank could land you with a decent-sized fine (in the thousands) or could even get you booked in jail if there were extra malicious motives involved such as causing a distraction. In addition, if it took place at a school, suspension or expulsion could be in order. It's not worth it.
