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. | In May 2022, a TikTok user pulled the pull station in the back exit of the Professional Tower as a prank.
