Could I kick the glass and use a hammer on a fire alarm in a fire?

Question

In a fire if a fire alarm said Break Glass and there was a hammer could I kick the glass and use the hammer too? What would be the benefit of kicking the glass and using the hammer? How many kicks should I do before using the hammer to get the small pieces out?

Answer 1

Well, you could try a kick/grab thing all at the same time. Kick the glass while reaching for the hammer. Do it once or twice to trump the story up, but use the hammer to actually break the glass... lol

Answer 2

More than 3 kicks then you're overdoing it.
