Student halls of residence are synonymous with false fire alarms; burnt toast, drunken accidents, or reckless pranks – every false alarm contributes towards the dangerous effects of alarm fatigue.

Disrupting vital teaching time, interfering with crucial exams and causing unnecessary evacuations, false fire alarms remain a troublesome nuisance within the education sector – creating a barrier to learning.

An international issue, alarm fatigue occurs when a person becomes desensitised to an alarm due to repeated false alarms and as a result fails to react appropriately in an emergency – having potentially fatal effects.

False fire alarms have risen by nearly 30% in just five years at NHS trusts across England; stretching resources, unsettling patients, and disrupting vital healthcare.

More than 2,600 false fire alarms were maliciously activated across England in 2019/20 – disrupting schools and businesses, placing unnecessary strain on our emergency services, and reducing the confidence the general public have in fire alarms.
