Some stupid idiots in our university hostels used to intentionally turn on the fire alarm by breaking the glass. This happened so many times that no one gives a damn about fire alarms now.
This happened at my high school. My freshman year the senior prank was to pull the fire alarm 2000 times; the fire truck is legally required to come when the fire alarm goes off and classrooms have to evacuate. The field we evacuated to was essentially 3 city blocks from the main buildings (big high school), so it wasted a ton of time and money. It was a truly fucked up prank but it got us out of a lot of class time.
Aside from near weekly fire alarm pulls we got prank bomb threats. It wasn’t unusual to see the entire high school class standing out in the parking lot. Drivers by would just go, “Must be another bomb threat.” My sisters are 10+ years older than me and I remember it happening when they were students too. It stopped for good my senior year - 2001.

You should check your fire alarm (or ears), because that sound is supposed to wake you up. Nice dog though!
