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
Manually turning off a shunt trip breaker should not set off the fire alarm. The only way that the breaker could set off the fire alarm when turned to the off position is if there is an auxiliary contact on the breaker connected to the fire alarm circuit. This is not usually done because the breaker should be able to be turned off when doing maintenance on the breakers circuit. If the breaker is a mandatory feed breaker to a piece of fire alarm equipment and shouldn't be left in the off position it might have a trouble circuit connected to the fire alarm panel. A trouble alarm on a fire alarm panel is different from an alarm circuit alarm.
To effectively shut off a fire alarm, locate the alarm panel and enter the code or use a key to silence the alarm. If you cannot do this, contact the fire department for assistance.

When the smokes reaches the device and sets off the alarm
When the fire alarm went off and then stopped, it likely means that there was a brief activation of the alarm system followed by a cessation of the alarm sound. This could have been due to a false alarm, a malfunction in the system, or a situation where the alarm was quickly resolved.

Isn't it obvious...
because it probably has a heat detector in the alarm therefor it goes off.
