A note about our statistics: All of are alarm records are reported by volunteers, meaning this data set is very likely to be incomplete. If we don’t have a volunteer in a specific building, or if they are out of the building at the time of the alarm, then we may not receive a report. Graphs like the alarms per hall graphs may be skewed because of this. Do not use our data for decision making, they are posted here for entertainment purposes only.
These graphs are auto-generated from our database early Monday morning. The generation date and dataset used is noted in the bottom left corner of each graph. Possible datasets are: “all alarm records” – all of the alarm records we have recorded to date over our club’s entire existence, “current semester records” – all of the alarm records we have recorded this semester (we typically consider the first day of move-in to be the beginning of the semester), and “alarm records this week” – all of the alarm records we recorded in the past 7 days.

All Records:
The following is a table of all our published fire alarm records. Records are listed from most recent to least recent. The data is updated with our home page and is re-rendered every time the page loads, meaning this is the most recent data. The table was designed to be play nicely when copied into a spreadsheet program. All times are in eastern time.
