This is really poor procedures when it comes to the fire alarms. I can tell you that it definitely would not be a test unless they were including an evacuation. The life safety code says that when the fire alarm is activated the building should be evacuated. In my state only the fire department is allowed to reset the alarms and the “property owners get fined if they have more than 3 false alarms just so people do not get complacent. I am sure if someone had called the fire marshals office then the management would have gotten a good “talking to” at least.
This sure gives every indication that the life safety code is not taken seriously. Good to know for the future.
If I roll up on a automatic alarm and the building is not evacuated you can bet as officer in charge once I know it is a false alarm that the building manger is going to be told that if the structure is not evacuated next time that they will be getting a visit from the Fire Marshall
