- Members of the public being secretly filmed, a fire alarm is activated. What do they do?
What would you do? This excellent piece of film shows the importance of a fire warden and fire awareness. www.ihasco.co.u...

The lady with the eyebrow job at 4:34 was more scary than them not knowing the fire alarm was going off. lol
😂😂😂
This is why the person in charge should always do their housekeeping right at the beginning of the gathering in order to let everyone know what the alarm sounds like ( our office doesn't have bells but a modern fire alarm sound ) and what action to take (leave by the fire exit) and if a fire alarm test is expected during the meeting.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and it isn't the reaction of the people, it's the way we were brought up especially in school where no one was trained to be a fire warden or a first aid, in other words in our very own schools we are taught to put the responsibility onto someone else as they will handle it. This is what we are lacking in our education today not due the sounds or people's reactions, to instill in us that we must take charge when we have to.
+Clown Man Yes exactly I agree with you, the caretaker / leader of those people should say something.
I don't think its any help that the sounder is outside of the room, where you can't read the fire label on it
Yes school teaches us all (both British and American) to be good little sheep and follow what the elite say
Actually I believe people are now desentizised from fire alarms because we constantly do fire drills in schools (at least in the '90s) when there was no fire. Usually, at least in the '90s, we had fire drills like 5 times a month. Thus, many people affiliate fire drills as a mock scenario, thus, wasting time from what we were doing prior to the fire drill
In my school we did drills once a month, except in the winter months. I think it is beneficial since people are better prepared for a real fire. Without necessary drills or procedures in place, when a real fire happens nobody knows what to do and this can lead to loss of life.
@@SebisRandomTech I dont think you watched the video lmao all these people clearly heard the alarm and they all know what to do in the situation, they just didnt do it....because they're desensitized.
They could have a speaker alarm "this is the fire alarm leave at the nearest exit"
yeah that's what I was thinking. in a moment of doubt they might not even know what the bell was
Exactly :)
And plus voice evac allows a security guard to be able to page everyone in the building about the emergency so they're more aware of what's going on, something you can't do with horns or bells
In england you cant speak through the sounders
@@wnsthe3563 You don't speak into them, they play an pre-recorded voice message
Thanks for the safety analysis and great job.
Warden has vital role .
It would be interesting to see a similar video of how people react to voice evacuation alarms, alarms with a code 3 tone (rather than a bell, in America the standard for fire alarms is a code three buzzer/tone), or perhaps an alarm with a strobe light. I can think of a few problems with relying on fire wardens rather than utilizing a fire alarm system that is effective by itself.
It seems apparent that the U.K. has different fire alarm code requirements then the U.S.
Recognizing different alarms is difficult, here police/ambulance/fire vehicles have three different sirens but unless you see the vehicle your unlikely to know which it unless you've memorized it, its not really an issue though since the procedure is the same regardless "MOVE!!!"
A lot of workplaces and schools have assigned emergency volunteers (usually just a coworker or teachers) who will guide people to the safe areas during a drill. Typically they are informed ahead of time as well, so when a real fire occurs the volunteers will know that it is truly an emergency and act accordingly. That's why fires in places like nightclubs or shopping centers can be so deadly. I recall a few months ago when a fire alarm went off in the large chain store I work at, there was no reaction on the part of the customers, they had come to expect the staff would come to their aid.
I ALWAYS investigate a smoke smell or any alarm. Dad was a fireman
The first time I ever heard a fire alarm was in my primary school when I was in nursery god knows how I remember that but I saw the fire alarm flashing and thought what’s going on and the teacher lined us up I have never been more terrified in my life
4:37 wtf is up with her eye brows haha what are those
Those are like forehead browes. Wait that's not a forehead, that's more of a twohead because their so high.
@@ThisAintNews It's apparently a fashion thing people purposefully shave of their eyebrows and draw new ones on, to me it always just looks like their surprised.
If you're in a commercial building and you hear a fire alarm, then you must IMMEDIATELY stop what you're doing, leave personal belongings where they are and WALK quickly but calmly to the NEAREST fire exit. If you're on an upper floor, always use the STAIRS, not the lift. Once outside, find the assembly point and once there, await further instruction. Don't try to leave the same way you came in, and DO NOT RE-ENTER the building until the fire Marshall or fire brigade have told you it's safe.
That’s an old fire alarm. I feel like if it was a tone alarm it would cause more concern.
On hearing the alarm bell , if the alarm sounds for no longer that 30 seconds if it still continues leave the building by the nearest exit and DO NOT STOP TO COLLECT BELLONGINGS
There should be a sounder where the alarm goes off, pauses and says “warning, this is a fire alarm; please leave the building Immediatly by the nearest avaliable exit”, then the alarm continues, voice starts talking agian, ect
That would work until people became numb to that too. Funny story about that though...
I was at city hall to get some paperwork I needed and there was a fire alarm whilst i was waiting for the lady to com back with what I needed but before I could even react a message came over the loudspeaker "Please ignore this alarm we are testing our systems, this is a schedule test of our emergency systems" so the few people who were actually worried resumed whatever they were doing...until a fire fighter burst into the room telling us to get the hll out because the place was actually on fire.
The message was still repeating when the fire fighters questioned a few people (not me) about why no one reacted....pretty much everyone just said "listen" they had no idea what we were talking about, probably because they were too busy you know fighting fires but it was hilarious, not sure what happened after that, it wasnt a very big fire because the fire fighters said we could go back inside, although there was a section of the building blocked off (a big hallway) so i assume the fire was over there somewhre.
We have this technology now

5:40 - Eyebrows!!!!!!
Hahahah I know what u mean
I find it unbelievable how naiive the vast majority of people are towards alarms.
It's got nothing to do with being naive Fire drills are the problem not being it associates fire alarms with annoyance and for lack of a better term lying about there being a fire
I think this happens a lot because most of the time people think it's only a simulation...
This is the same typical behavior I have observed in public places when the fire alarm goes off. I was in a restaurant and no one stopped eating or got up to leave. I asked the waiter if the alarm was a false alarm and he mentioned the alarm had been going off regularly, false. I am in the fire alarm business and it is difficult to get people to respond to the fire alarms in many instances. Schools, nursing homes and hospitals conduct fire alarm drill regularly and are condition to respond to these alarms. We had a wild fire near one of our communities and the hotel called and asked what to do because the people would not evacuate the building even though they knew the fire was very close. This is why mass notification has come into play recently and buildings that have voice evacuation allow a human interaction to effect the response of the occupants.
I might add, that when conduction training, seminars, conferences, and such it is a good idea to point out the emergency exits as well as the locations of the bath rooms. It would have been interesting to see how the group reacted with instructions at the beginning of the session explaining what to do in the event of an emergency.
+Jennifer Bartels same!
In all of my years in public school with fire drills, the only thing I took away was that fire alarms don’t mean anything. It’s probably just a test, because there never was a fire. I don’t feel like fire drills are a good thing. If someone doesn’t know what’s going on, they’re going to start to panic and get out of the building. It’s even worse when you’re in an unfamiliar building while knowing alarm tests are a thing but not knowing how often they occur in that building.
Perhaps the answer is to standardize fire alarms so they produce the same sound, but also have a standard test sound so people can tell the difference.
its because all these fire drills in schools happen to often everyone assumes its a test unless sprinklers go off
All those males in that room but not one man.
3:03 No, I'm pretty sure that's for extinguishing the fire later on.
2:06 "school is burning down, hahaha" see teachers don't like school.
1. You should put the time code BEFORE what your talking about
2, She said "The school bell" not sure if this is still a thing but when i was in elementary school the bell would indicate important times (start and end of classes, s/e of lunch, s/e of recess,etc.), the high school i went to probably would have done it too but class times were not uniform so it wouldn't make any sense.
Alot of factories and whatnot also use bells or other sounds to indicate lunch break and quitting time.
This reminds me of a fire alarm at a job once. A colleague was at my desk and I was showing him something on my computer, and we were talking. As soon as the fire alarm started, I locked the screen and just headed for the exit. I stopped talking to my colleague and didn't even say anything.
There were other members of staff closer to the exit than me, but I was the first to open the door and leave.
It's really interesting to see this and compare it to previous times when I have experienced fire alarms. I don't hesitate, and other people seem to take notice and follow when someone actually takes action. I've actually had to tell customers not to enter our building when there is a fire alarm and we are assembled outside on the street.
It would have been interesting to see this experiment again with a speaking alarm, or even having a planted participant who gets up and leaves, to see if the other people would have responded differently.
Me as Fire Warden: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! That's a fire alarm! You know that! GTFO!"
That or just start screaming.
I was in an auditorium a few years back when the fire alarm went. I stood up and left. I was informed by the conference marshals at the door that I shouldn't worry as there was a glitch in the system and the alarm frequently activated. This did indeed continue to occur over the following two days of the conference, and I was the only person who evacuated. Every. Single. Time.
That wasn't the only issue I had with how that conference handled health and safety issues. It made for a rather anxious few days and I ended up leaving early.
I think I would have done the same. And I think you're awesome. It amazes me that people stop using their brains when others are doing something different. I think this really relates to what's going on under covid right now and the complete lack of leadership.
Omg duh normal fire alarms in every building are loud obnoxious IN EVERY ROOM with a strobe and are clearly marked "Fire" on them so people know it's a fire alarm
1: This is in the UK
2: Even american alarms don't have to be marked “Fire”.
3: In the US each room does not have its own sounder. Say in a classroom you can still hear the alarm from the hallway, so only a strobe is required.
Some regulation requires strobes and speakers in every room. And some regulation requires alarms to be marked with "FIRE".
Zentro 1: No, audible signals are not required in every room. 2: No, on a national level, Notification Appliances and not required to be marked "FIRE".

@@ironmatic1 It really depends on the state of the U.S. and the purpose of the building/room.
Wow great eyebrows lol
This is a perfect example which shows how dependent people are on authority. It's sad how mindless we are, how much we need to follow instead of lead. We are becoming puppets, slaves, etc. or maybe we just already are. :(
Endeavors_DnB you can also blame people who play false alarm pranks for that too
Fire drills are the problem not being "sheeple"
Thank you for this video. It is good for education and awareness purposes.
In the UK back in 2000-2012, alarm bells were very popular.
Also, I might be overconfident here, but I think I'd get up, ask; 'Is that the fire alarm?' and while talking, already move towards the exit, holding it open and letting people walk trough.
Here is what people would do in bed when the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night: they slam their alarm clock and if it doesn't stop they throw it and it breaks and they freak out
I would have stood up and investigated what was happening. That's just my personality. Some of the people in this scene may have been unwilling to deviate from what they had been told to do. I am usually not so eager to do what I'm told in the first place, so there is less of a barrier for me against trying something different.
Psych teachers love this video to bits
thankfully here in Spain we have a fire drill every few months or once a year and the teacher will tell you if it’s a mock test or not
If it was a scheduled drill, they would have been told beforehand.
Not necessarily. Some places do drills randomly to see what people do
Also some people will (like myself) have that anxiety of "when's it gonna go off, when's it gonna off, when's it gonna go off" and not really be focused and on edge until it happens and calm down once it's finished. honestly even if I didn't have bad anxiety because of it I think it being a surprise of when is better than flat out being told when, you know what I mean?
although it's interesting because it's not like at some random point in the day some random place in a building is gonna be like "oh lemme just be a fire"
I would of evacuated as fast as I could I mean like what if it was an actual fire
Unless wherever your from doesnt have regular fire drills, i dont believe you.
I never in my life heard a fire bell like that.. I wouldn't have known what it is.. Every time I hear the slow whoop at work go off I get up and get the hell out. You never know if it is real or just a test, I'm not waiting to find out.
tgrkiller in england ( the country this was filmed in) fire balls are commonplace.
Its one of those things that seems to be cultural, if fire alarms weren't nullified by fire drills it would make sense to standardize it.
8:17 did the guy just dab?
Random Ytuber Haha yeah, I think he did
do not collect your personal belongings!!
Why?
@@ironmatic1 its a time thing, fire spreads fast when it actually exists but it doesnt take into account the fact that we have multiple limbs i dont need my arms to stand up so if i have a bag with important things right beside me im grabbing it whilst getting up.
Also since as mentioned fire alarms are associated with what is essentially a lie most people just dont want thir crap stolen if thir forced to participate in the drill.
@@Failedlegend Not just a time thing. It's also about available space. 8 people can get through a fire door an outside more easily (as well as quickly) than 8 people carrying 8 large bags and 8 bulky coats. In worse case scenario if you are carrying a lot of posessions out with youthen you could jam up the doorway and cause the people behind to pile up in a human heap behind you (sadly a common occurence in evacuations due to real fires etc), especially if everyone in the building is already mistakenly trying to leave by one exit because everyone came in that one way.
People are stupid in general. I would leave when I hear the fire alarm. You never know if it's real and you don't want to take the chance it may be.
IK AT SCHOOL THE FIRE ALARM WENT OFF AFTER DINNER, AND WE EVACUATED AND AFTER WE WENT BACK IN, THE TEACHER TOLD US IT WAS REAL.
Why did they waste money doing a test like this its not rocket science. The culprit is fire drills it numbs everyone to fire alarms, even worse where I live you get fined for using a fire exit if there's no actual emergency.
People aren't stupid we don't need to be taught how to walk and use a door. My generaation and probably the next generation are already screwed because its already a subconscious reaction but we seriously need to stop doing constant fire drills. Just include information about fire procedure in your employee handbook, lease, etc.
It's the same as car alarms and anti-theft alarms when they were first introduced people would react and at least look out a window towards the alarm to see if something was wrong but eventually due to the alarms being so sensitive people numbd to them and now just roll their eyes. Same with anti-theft alarms at store exits.
Funny Story: I was at city hall to get some paperwork I needed and there was a fire alarm whilst i was waiting for the lady to com back with what I needed but before I could even react a message came over the loudspeaker "Please ignore this alarm we are testing our systems, this is a schedule test of our emergency systems" so the few people who were actually worried resumed whatever they were doing...until a fire fighter burst into the room telling us to get the hll out because the place was actually on fire.

"even worse where I live you get fined for using a fire exit if there's no actual emergency"
Presumably if you open an exit during a continuous evacuation alarm then this does not cause you to be fined, regardless of whether it is a genuine emergency, a false alarm or a fire drill? Even accidentally opening one at a time when no alarms were sounding, and no fire existed, could be a pure accident, and therefore ought not to be fineable (I once was clumsy when moving a rollcage at work and accidentally hit an alarm point and caused an evacuation, but I was never spoken to about it afterwards, though my immediate boss did know it was me who had indavertently caused the evacuation. I imagine it could be conceivably be possible to instead accidentally hit the bar on the fire door that causes it to fly open an thereby inadvertently open a fire exit.). The only circumstances I could understand a fine for would be if someone intentionally opened a fire exit at a time when no alarms were sounding and no fire existed, just because they felt like opening it, or they wanted to be willfully disruptive or disobedient.
My former high school should listen to this. I remember when they thought it was an acceptable thing to do a fire drill in EVERY class period in ONE DAY! I'm not kidding, my junior and senior years, there was a a day early on in the semester where they actually did this.
Does wanting to knock it out count?
here in the u.s and i know a lot of other country's do this as well in schools and in other places such as home and stuff you are taught you hear an alarm you leave you don't take anything with you its not like this video where he says take your belongings and im shocked that he even did right then and there i would have known this was fake
This place needs a horn/strobe appliance marked "FIRE".
People read way too much into this. When I was in school there was a fire alarm every 3 hours, every school day of the year. If I were to jump out of my seat and go to the nearest fire exist I probably wouldn't enough English skills to even convey this to you.
I naturally don't interpret bells as alarms and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is like that, so next time you do this experiment, try a horn
Funny. Where is the rest of the video?
In my School, we should have fire Alarm Training, but in fact, we don't have it regulary. Anyway, everybody stops working and we go straight outside the building with the teacher. I don't understand why People ignore fire alarms. I was at home with my younger sister alone one day and our home-fire-Alarm was ringing, so I told my sister to stay where she is and then i ran around the rooms and checked if everything was alright. I didn't make an "evacuation" because in our german home-fire-Alarm Systems, we Need to plug in batteries and if the battery is empty, it starts ringing (annoying in the night :)) But I react and don't say "Nothing is happen" and continue
A fire alarm is not to be confused with human science reactions are not always as key to the element of life...
That place looks really familiar...
Stick a Salcano GP 3 Siren in there they will soon shift
Sounders are more super because it can have a voice/sound.
I react imediatly
put the fire alarm inside the room, then the noise will drive them crazy out of the room!
These guys should get CAT scan.
Do I need to keep clicking on it to show the full video? XD That is sad if I have to.
Duh let's just sit here.
Why do they even need to do this test?! "It's quite often not how you would think" - that's bollocks (as you Brits say), it's *exactly* how I would think. The explanation is very simple - the reaction is based on the information they receive. The only information conveyed by the alarm sound is "some kind of alarm has been triggered". Some people may guess it's a fire alarm, but it doesn't say there's an actual fire, or whether they're in danger. Still, I'd expect everybody to locate a fire exit.
Lmao there too lazy to get up
Interesting that people don't react at all when they don't see fire or smell smoke. Good point for safety experts.
I would of ran
And be PROACTIVE, don't wait for others to move first.
