It is my understanding that ONE ALARM sounding should activate all alarms in the building. I would think that is a violation with the fire code. They may be loud and noisy when they go off when nobody is really in need of an emergency-but would you want to be that ONE person trapped upstairs with no notification of an emergency downstairs? I wouldn't and I think it should be addressed with the fire department and the owner- how else would you know that the owner addressed the problem? Better to be safe for all of us who support our local stores!
