Heh, that was pretty basic.  Was it close to 5 O'clock?  We had an inspection of my church's commercial fire alarm which consisted
of me activating the pull station, resetting the system and then removing the pull to show the FM that there's a resistor in place.
This was a 17,000 sf "place of assembly" with smokes, duct smokes, pulls and strobe-horns all over the place.

Many times, yes.  In CT you couldn't get a C.O. without a fire inspection and if the smokes were part of the alarm the inspectors
would want the system demo'd.  They rarely bothered to check for supervision though one guy in S Windsor always did.

We once had the inspector check our alarm in an apartment in a certain ethnic neighborhood of Hartford.  The building owner lived on
the second floor.  When the inspector arrived he went to the owner's apartment, stayed a few minutes telling jokes and sipping
homemade wine, then left with a bottle under his arm (talk about DIY:)).
