I suppose it is slightly less unsafe than it sounds, the fire alarms are very loud. For example, whenever our across the hall neighbors set off their fire alarm, even if our door is closed, and their door is closed, we can still hear it. When a fire alarm goes off, an RA is required to shut it off, after they shut it off, they go check on the apartment to see if everyone is alright and whether or not we need evacuation or something. The only issue is that sometimes all three RAs will be gone, and so the RAs from the Suites are called. It can take them sometimes up to 15 minutes to get down here. I don't know what would happen if our RAs were gone and the Suites RAs were gone, we'd probably have to call the fire department all the time.
