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
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.
