STUDENTS FINED FOR FIRE ALARMS HOAX
Two university students in Liverpool have been fined for setting off fire alarms in student accomodation.
In the first incident, a foreign exchange student at Liverpool University activated a dry powder extinguisher while visiting student halls in Opal Court, London Road, setting off the alarms.
The second involved a John Moores University student, who was a guest at the Unite Grand Central student accommodation, next to Liverpool’s Lime Street station, and activated a fire alarm. Both incidents led to firefighters having to attend.
Terry Clarry, from Merseyside fire service, said: “The vast majority of students are as frustrated as we are about these anti-social behaviour problems.”
The fire service says that on average it recieves a malicious call to student accomodation once every three days.
