To the best of my knowledge, ADA says to follow NFPA 72 standards. NFPA 72 Standards state that the operable part of the pull station shall be between 3-1/3 ft and 4-1/2 ft.
48" from floor to the middle of the pull station
In Pennsylvania, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that fire alarm pull stations be operable with a maximum force of 5 pounds. This requirement ensures that individuals with disabilities can easily access and activate the alarm in case of an emergency. It is important for these pull stations to be installed at appropriate heights and locations to be compliant with accessibility standards.
The height requirement for fire alarm systems can be found in NFPA 72, specifically in Chapter 17, which covers the installation of fire alarm systems. Look for sections that address the positioning of detectors, notification appliances, and other components, as they typically specify mounting heights based on the type of device and the environment. Additionally, consult any applicable annexes for further guidance and recommendations.

There is no standard height but they are generally mounted at eye-level or above, to deter juvenile vandalism.
The first alarm clock was powered by water where if the water was at a certain height, it would go off with a beeping sound.
In Texas, pulling a fire alarm without cause is considered a criminal offense under Section 42.06 of the Texas Penal Code. This act is classified as a Class A misdemeanor, which can result in penalties including fines and potential jail time. If the false alarm causes significant disruption or risk, it may lead to more severe charges.

In Ontario, fire pull stations are required in various locations as per the Ontario Fire Code. They must be installed in all buildings with a fire alarm system, typically positioned near exits and at accessible locations to ensure they can be easily reached in case of an emergency. Additionally, pull stations should be located within a certain distance from any area where people may be present, ensuring prompt activation of the alarm system in the event of a fire.
Check with your local building department of your city or county. They will be able to tell you exactly what is required in your community.
