∙ 11y agoThe offense of "Sounding a False Alarm of FIre" is usually charged as a Misdemeanor offense, HOWEVER -- if, as a result of it should any injury or death result from fire apparatus responding and becoming involved in an accident or serious injury situation the charge could then become a felony offense.
In addition to the criminal fine or jail sentence, a person raising a false alarm may also be sued for causing any injuries or damage by the false alarm. For example, if someone is trampled in the panic to get out in a false alarm, the person falsely pulling the signal box is responsible for paying the victims or survivors of the alarm.
In fact, if a fire brigade is busy responding to a false alarm at the same time that a TRUE alarm comes in, the person pulling the false alarm may also be responsible for additional property damage, injuries or even deaths caused by having the fire brigade out of position.

Will manually turning off a shunt trip breaker set off the fire alarm?
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.
