But it could be worse; I know a school in South Carolina that has roughly one false alarm pull every week! And with only six dorms, a significant fraction of the residents are put out every time.

My high school had them and before you can pull the actual fire alarm switch, you must lift this polycarbon plastic lid, and when lifted it sounds a ear piercing horn from inside the lid and alerts people that some one is about to pull it. The horn shuts back off but only when you put the lid back on by hitting it pretty hard. (That is 100 % normal though) My JR> HIgh had them and I lifted one once and was suspended because 1- i didnt know how to get it back on to shut it off. 2- People already knew I wanted to pull the fire alarm. I hope this helps. If your having problems with false alarms by some one pulling it, maybe your dorm should invest in the “STI STOPPER II ” lids.
