My school last year had 10 but beacuse of how annoying it was getting so it’s 6 this year I don’t know if it’s just temporary or permanently and in my school the first fire drill of the year is announced on the intorcom
My school doesn’t have drills as often as yours does. So far, all I’ve had are two secure in place drills(one took place during 5th period at 1:20 PM, the other took place during 1st period at about 8:20 AM), one combined earthquake and fire drill(took place during 2nd period at 9:00 AM), and one real secure in place emergency(took place during 3rd period at 10:15 AM, cause of emergency: a student at another nearby high school made a shooting threat on social media)
@@safetyemergencyperson5085I think the advantages of announcing them are twofold. First is that sadly active assailants have used fire alarms to trick people to leaving the building, only for them to get shot. Announcing it makes it clear that there is no active shooter threat and that normal evacuations procedures can be followed. Second, surprise drills run the risk of a cry wolf scenario, where people may stop taking the alarm seriously knowing that it’s probably not a real fire. Even if you’re not told about when the drills will be, you are more likely to think the alarm is not real simply because you go through so many of these drills throughout your life. That would inevitably make the drills less effective. By announcing them, people can tell the difference between a drill and the real thing. That way should the alarm sound without prior warning, occupants will know for certain that this is not a drill and could indeed be a real fire. Additionally, people with disabilities and sensory overload benefit more from pre-announced drills too. If a real fire took place, someone would have a plan to get those people out of the building. That’s just my opinion tho lol
At my high school back in early october this year we had 2 false fire alarms in 1 week one on monday october 4th when it was pouring rain outside and one on october 6th right as i was going to lunch
Some teachers say it (mostly my second period teacher). He says it the week the drill is on. And the announcements did say the fire drill moved from 6th to 7th period on this specific drill
There was a fire drill on my birthday once and then like two weeks later the was like 3 fire drills in one week one at lunch that someone pressed then one when I was doing P.E then one was at lunch again it was not fun
@@SportyTrainGuy i assume theyre being controlled via a simplex 4009 idnet nac extender which is a nac power booster connected to the main panel which is most likely a 4100u or 4100es. The boosters tend to do that occasionally for sync purposes unlike the main control panel's sync which will simply flash the strobes for a few seconds prior to sounding to get the alarms in sync. Smartsync is weird nonetheless.
In some states. But that’s like 14 drills a year. I think four or five drills is enough. In Maryland, the requirement is five for buildings with sprinklers and eight drills if there is none. But districts reserve the right to go beyond the minimum. I know some who still do monthly drills, which is like 10 per year.
Just curious, why does parts of your school have a voice system (with no voice) and others have traditional horn strobes? Is it just random sections chosen to have voice or is there actual rhyme and reason for the difference? Just wondering!
Whenever schools get renovated or get additions, they get newer alarms (voice evac). So, it most likely seems that parts of the school have been renovated and others haven't. You can always tell when it's a renovation instead of an addition because the speaker strobes have exposed conduit (wiring and backboxes that are outside of the wall). But, that's only the case most of the time, not all. So in summary, some parts of his school have voice evac because those areas have been renovated.
@@SportyTrainGuy I don't like fire drills ONLY because they're LOUD, unless it's a voice evac system. I don't mind the flashing strobes or evacuating the building, but I only mind the very loud siren.

I wish they would've warned us when I was in school especially the one in Kindergarten during nap time.

I like it when they announce fire drills because you know if it’s a drill or not
What’s the name of your high school
Its personal.

@@SportyTrainGuy you can still have a drill just in case because you never know
@@QueenKenziegaming It is not part of the drill requirements in our district
@@SportyTrainGuy oh ok I understand
Did you hear a train went by along with the fire drill altogether?

My school has those same alarms and they make the same sound but we have fire drills once a month and there aren’t any alarms in the classrooms
Nice!
Had the Exact same alarms simplex true-alerts inside and wheelock mts outside
Nice!
Actually, could it be AS?
That's odd... my school never told us when a fire drill was coming. The alarm just went off.
Some schools tell you nowadays because of school shooters pulling alarms to get people in the hall
That's true
I've seen that on a video before.
It’s gotta be a surprise well my school never tell us when the drills come
