College fire alarm going off 'four or five times a day' as students 'vape'

A college student has said they are "beyond annoyed" as the fire alarm at their college won't stop going off.

Alix Meakin, a performing arts student at St Helen's College, said the fire alarm at the college's Town Centre Campus building has been going off daily - often multiple times each day - since the end of last month, with all students and staff expected to follow safety protocol and leave the building each time. Alix said they fear it will lead to a "boy who cries wolf" situation, where, fed up of the incessant false alarms, people stop adhering to regulations.

Alix told the ECHO: "Some days it'll be just like we're having a normal day, and it'll only go off once. Then other days it'll go off three or four times in just the afternoon.
