Setting off a detector might give you a time bonus while they investigate.
I was watching the Simpsons episode where Homer is a firefighter and that gave me the idea.

On one floor?
Stick around and get charged by the fire department for a false alarm?
Most people probably won't even leave. It's usually safer to stay inside your unit unless there are signs of fire (at least in my city).

I lived in an apartment building in Austin where people would throw half-smoked joints into the trash compactor. First two, maybe three times, i would head out to the fire line in my pajamas, with a shivering Chihuahua in tow. After the fourth alarm, I just stood out on the balcony, due to the eyeball quivering alarm, and wait until i smelled actual smoke.
Bonus, there was a Koi pond under my balcony, so evacuation was a well timed jump away.
Fuck you of you dispose of anything alight into a community trash receptacle...

Yeah. Pull it and go to a different floor and look around. You aren't standing around waiting for them unless you have some weird 1930s pull station

Emergency services would get there too fast to loot.

I mean assuming it takes them five minutes to respond and they're going to a different floor I'd say that's plenty of time

So, are you just going to carry all that stuff through the door that the residents are standing outside of?

It would be more for big ticket small items. Laptops and what not. You'd go down as they trickle up.

The alarms went off all the time in my old building because they were faulty, so most people just didn't leave anyway.
