Setting off a detector might give you a time bonus while they investigate.
I was watching the Simpsons episode where Homer is a firefighter and that gave me the idea.
On one floor?
Stick around and get charged by the fire department for a false alarm?
Most people probably won’t even leave. It’s usually safer to stay inside your unit unless there are signs of fire (at least in my city).
I lived in an apartment building in Austin where people would throw half-smoked joints into the trash compactor. First two, maybe three times, i would head out to the fire line in my pajamas, with a shivering Chihuahua in tow. After the fourth alarm, I just stood out on the balcony, due to the eyeball quivering alarm, and wait until i smelled actual smoke.
Bonus, there was a Koi pond under my balcony, so evacuation was a well timed jump away.
Fuck you of you dispose of anything alight into a community trash receptacle…
