Nice,as i say he wasnt sure on the bill if any from the Fire Dept.One has to question how a bloke ends up on TV defending his right to smack his kid whilst shite like this attracts no conviction just less money for piss.

Its not even just false call outs that can attract that charge, normally per engine.

I believe Auckland Uni got billed $400 per truck, and 4 always attended, each time a fire alarm went off...

You'd just want to disconnect the alarm then wouldn't you?

Mate in the Compsci building we've been cleared out maybe 4 times this semester. Outside the Biological Sciences building down Symonds St I've seen fire engines parked outside at least 4 or 5 times this year as well.

Can't figure it out -- every time it's a false alarm, we all pile back in after 10 minutes or so outside. Ridiculous. Probably just those ancient decrepit old buildings falling to bits.

And there are some who then complain when the fee's go up...

In all seriousness, I don't think that's the case at uni -- especially not in the Bio Sci building which (the one I'm talking about) is populated entirely by balding men with beards wearing stylish sock/sandal combos... no stoned students in there.

If it was a student playing tricks I think they wouldn't last long amongst their peers. It really is a complete pisser when you're buried neck-deep in the middle of of assignment you've been there for a couple of hours, and you have to put all your work down and close up and evacuate. Even worse when it happened in a mid-term test and the results got canned
