	In May 2022, a TikTok user pulled the pull station in the back exit of the Professional Tower as a prank. This obviously tripped the system into alarm, and so the mall was evacuated and CFD responded. The person who pulled it got away, but in October they came back and did it again. The pull station in the Centre Court was activated and the alarm sounded. This time they were caught and charged. Fire Alarmpedia is not responsible for this, and strictly condemns the user and their actions. NEVER pull a fire alarm unless there is a real fire emergency.

	The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The system has over 50 nodes, and the main panel is located in the security office, located in the basement of the mall. The system runs ~~EST’s~~ Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The system is equipped with voice evacuation, with custom messages for both the alert and evacuation signals. The alert signal coding is a 20BPM vibrating bell tone, followed by a 120BPM (march time) bell tone for the evacuation signal.
