There multiple persons under the same roof, sleeping at night. The alarm in the basement sounds. You go in there. There is a thick smoke. You disable the alarm.

There multiple persons under the same roof, sleeping at night. The alarm in the basement sounds. You go in there. There is a thick smoke. You disable the alarm. You inhale too much smoke and fall down. The house burns down and everyone dies.
Of course, why on earth would you disable the alarm if indeed there is a ton of smoke is beyond me. But maybe there was a real-life case of somebody confused that did just that, and in the emotional aftermath regulation was passed to make sure this never happens again, common sense be damned.
