Setting off fire alarms

Was at one of the rooftop bars in charleston yesterday with a friend having drinks and smoking some gars. After I had an awesome cubana wrap to eat I went light my cigar but it was a little too windy so I went in the bathroom. As I"m toasting it in there the fire alarm goes off for the entire restaurant. I finished lighting my 601 blue label then walked out and apologised. The staff were pretty cool about it and made some jokes. But they couldn't turn off the fire alarms because they said the fire department has to do it, so we went to the upper deck part of the rooftop which has another bar and tables and no alarms going off. While were up their the barkeep tells me that the fire marshal was down there and wanted to speak to me. I went down there to find out it was a joke. Anybody else ever set off the fire alarms?
