    I haven’t seen the video but my first impression (and likely other’s) is it’s similar to a tik-tok trend where people steal soap dispensers, break sinks, etc.

    Having said that, it could just be a little click-baity and maybe he collects old or “retired” fire alarms, which would obviously be fine.

      I know several fire alarm enthusiasts. Fire alarms are acquired after being retired, nobody would damage or steal from an active fire alarm system as that’s a risk to everyone’s safety. People who steal from active systems would be shunned. Most fire alarms enthusiasts get are bought off eBay or similar sites.
