Fire alarm tech here. Contrary to what happens in the movies, fire alarm pull stations actually don't trigger the sprinklers.

Sprinklers can cause a LOT of damage and are intended as a last resort when there's a fire. The only way the sprinklers are going to go off is when there's enough heat under an individual sprinkler head to burst the heat capsule and open the valve. I emphasize individual because also contrary to the movies, the whole sprinkler system doesn't go off when one head is triggered. Only the head that has a sufficient source of heat goes off.

Now, the fire alarm that those pull stations triggers will tend to have "tampers" or "gate valves" and "flows" that monitor the sprinkler system. The tampers watch valves and alert the system if someone closes/opens a valve. The flows alert the system to flowing water.

In applications where the system is monitored remotely, flowing water will cause the fire department to be dispatched. In all applications, flowing water will set off the fire alarm horns and strobes.

Well, some fire suppression systems (Halon, dry foam, etc) in high risk areas (Mainframe rooms, Aircraft Hangars, etc) can be activated by a pull station, right?

you guys are so smart, anal_justice_league (LOL) is rite tho, some special fire suppression systems can discharge chemicals by pulling a station,

on a side note tho, whoever put these post-its up should continue going around posting them at all rec centres in toronto.. more easy service calls for me :)

I showed it to my six year old, she laughed and said that's a fire alarm. So I'm happy to report that once a kid is old enough to read, they're smart enough to know wtf that is.

I like the idea of a "seems legit" subreddit. That way I don't have to search all over funny and wtf to find these.
