- I get to pull the fire alarm for a fire drill at Potomac Hall, a dormitory at James Madison University, on February 19, 2003.
The pull station is a Cerberus Pyrotronics MS-501, and the notification appliances are Wheelock AS.
"Favorite time here it's fire drill time. Okay, here we go!" *Does it for a Joke* then the building explodes.
Definitely all Wheelock AS. No System Sensor appliances in this building.
Pulling the fire alarm for a fire drill at Montgomery Ward Elementary, on February 19, 1999.
I love fire drills
At my high school, if the fire alarm is regularly pulled, it automatically calls the Fire Department of New York City. When they do fire drills, before the fire alarm gets pulled, all of the phones and the intercom system have to be turned off and disconnected.
No, not true. These days they can just call the monitoring company to put the system on test mode, and then they put the alarms back online afterwards. Perhaps your school had a more advanced process? Where I went to school the alarms were always on test during the day and in online mode at night. That way if the fire alarm went off during the day our security officers could investigate first instead of being immediately dispatched to 911 if it was a false alarm. If the building was really on fire we’d just call 911 ourselves. But if the alarms are on test that can actually make things worse as kids could pull the alarm knowing the fire department won’t respond. They only call them if it’s a real fire.
@@MrTylerNicole1 actually it's called drill which are on some panels which doesn't contact the fire department or alarm monitoring company. That said, they should still be contacted just incase so they don't respond.
in my school we have the same fire alarm
This is how my school fire alarm sounds
I actually got to pull one in school yesterday WITH permission for a fire drill, as well as reset the system, although I don't have a video of it.
How do you get permission?
+immakidbruh I asked the custodian, and she was nice to say yes, knowing that I really wanted to pull one for a fire drill so bad.
There was this one time back in high school when I got permission to actually start a fire drill, but I pressed a button instead. I remember I was called down to the main office. When I got there they told me that they were going to do a fire drill and wanted me to start it. They probably did this to get me used to it since they used to always freak me out.
Siemmens Pyrotronics pulls and panel with wheelock AS horn/strobes set to code-3 either by themselves or by the panel.
OMG that is the same fire alarm in my school. Oh wow :)
Mason James same
@travelplus1 it still would have locked into place, he was just holding it until the alarm went off.
i love the sound
Harith Toma I don't lol
0:04 Didn't wake me up ⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳
The Wheelock AS series came out in 2004
Actually, the AS is a lot older than that, having come out in the late 1990s.
1995 to be exact
this is a funny story actually this happended in first grade my classmates were changing for physical education and one of my clasmate accidentally pulled his underwear down and the whole class was laughing and the guy whos underweaer is pulled down ran outside naked and angry he was so angry that he pushed the fire alarm and people panicked and he went to the principals office hhahahha!
that was cool
Is that a police officer resetting the fire alarm or the fire department because why would a police officer do that
That is a police officer. When JMU would run fire drills in the dorms, JMU police would be the ones to reset the system. The fire department was typically not involved in scheduled drills.
nice wheelock as i have it next to me non-wired :(
i have that in my school for example when i was little i was in first grade and it was drama and the fire drill went off
somehow i bumped into the fire alarm control panel at my school and the alarm went off they where gonna do a drill but they didint pull it they took my trip onto it to activate it for the fire drill
@gazingraven me to I have a fire drill today and I freaking nervous
Alarms where lock as
@schuminweb J'ai vu cet homme est un policier
Hi hon
That same horn sound has been used in a number of different Wheelock products since the 1990s. So that's not too surprising that you're hearing it coming out of different looking devices.
The MT series have the same sound as the AS
Yep! Cop was standing right behind me the whole time waiting to reset the station after the system was activated.
I like fire drills.
Pulling the fire alarm and not getting in trouble for it is every kid's dream!
This alarm system does that click before it goes off just like my school’s alarm system did.
I had a fire drill at my work last week. They sound exactly like these.
Typical, its the exact same alarm my school has.
This video filmed just 1 day before The Station Nightclub in Warwick Rhode Island burned down on 02/20/2003 at about 11:30 PM from banned pyrotechnics. Ultimately killing 100 people. Injuring 200+. And scarring many for life
I like the sound of the annunciator panel thing when the alarms are sounding
I mess watching this my childhood memories
Stay safe.
By the way, if you want a clean recording of the same horn, go to "Fire Alarm Collection" on my website, The Schumin Web, and look for "Wheelock AS-24-110" in the listings. I have an MP3 of it.
My friends and I used to call fire drills "fire alarm fun time." I am really sensitive to loud sound due to migraines and cerebral palsy, which made being around power tools and fire drills stressful as I adapted my hearing. We often met up with our gameboys to play tetris tournaments. It is all incredibly ironic due to the fact that I became a registered nurse // emergency medical technician that works in ambulances and whose rescue station was right beside an air raid fire department siren.
This guy is pulling a fire alarm for a fire drill like a joke. imagine if that is that.
The high school I go to has all Siemens ZH-HMC-R horn strobes in the hallways, main office, gyms, cafeteria, and auditorium with ZH-MC-R strobes in every room and Wheelock AS horn strobes all around the outside of the building + a fire alarm bell(sprinkler bell?) and an automatic door closer
And also Siemens FS-MSD Pull stations throughout the building with push in function
Haha At my school it sounds just like that we had one today
oooooooohhhhhhhh they're gonna get in sooooooooo muuuuuuccccchhhhh trrrrrrrouuuuubbbbbbbbllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeee!
@schuminweb I found that to be the case at highschool. It was actually in powder form and would stain your skin blue.
Interesting generally myth especially with ink,
1 day before the Station night club fire in Rhode Island
Just what I thought. So easily preventable
he is highly energetic
exactly 316,000 views!
I used it for my classroom so they could practice what to do when they hear it.
It's ridiculous that a fire alarm took five seconds to go off
Not really pretty good timing some activations take over thirty seconds from my experience .
we shouldn't do that because I fi pulled the alarm I would get in truoble
What was the model of the pull station
I did see these those alarms before
I hate fire drills
My school has the same except with ringing
I'm in seventh and I have those at my school
It's loud for 1 thing. I am still scared of fire drills. I have been like that since kindergarten.
I had Fire alarms go off at my school every day so my mother learned why I was sacred of them.
favorite time of the year? you better be doing drills every month. its law.
That only applies to K-12 in Virginia. Not higher ed.
@@SchuminWeb How often do they have fire drills for higher ed?
@@elevatorsbyliftfilmer1247 Virginia has no law governing fire drills in higher education. At JMU, the way that broke down, at least at the time that I was in attendance, was that no fire drills were conducted in academic and service buildings, and six fire drills per year in the dorms. Those six fire drills were per Residence Life policy, with three per semester. Two (one per semester) were announced, and four were unannounced. An accidental or malicious alarm could be used to count for an unannounced fire drill.
I wanna pull a fire alarm
April R me too
Me three
I have a million times because I have fire alarm pull stations
Same but only for tests if the alarm is working
The news billy weather channel Boomer sure I subbed now

William Reavis I'm a senior these things were there to torchure me all 4yrs even in elementary and jr high
Stay safe.
weeolock as
I believe the city is Harrisonburg, Virginia.
You are correct.
@@SchuminWeb knew it.
Nice!
My school has a Edwards pulls and simplex t bar the alarms Edwards jenisus
0:33 Sounds like a SpectrAlert Advance.
when i was in kindergarten we were making crayons by melting them in metal ice cube trays in an oven. needless to say this stupid crafts activity my teacher thought up set off the alarm. Nothing bad happened, but I got to see all three of my uncles at once when they responded. Rare occasion for that to happen since they were all on different shifts but two of them were doing overtime
@sheiklink64 I think you can just ask and if they say yes you're good to go.
People poured melted wax onto a hot plate and set off the alarm.
the same sound that my house has.
You must have a loud house, lol
Jenn Aiello lol your house would be a mansion
That’s the alarm sound in my church.
Vous êtes à l'aéroport?
ARE YOU THE AIRPORT?
I was 7 days old
some day i wana be chose to pull one for a fire drill.....
But of course. I had permission.
What time during the night was this drill?
8:00 PM.
@@SchuminWeb thanks!
I know. I was just saying that.
@Freshclean Sullivan I know
Wheellock As
Did you know, Ben, that I've been in two different actual emergencies at my old private school? If not, the emergencies were an oven fire and a smell of burning electrical. The Williamsport Bureau of Fire was immediately contacted followingtery calm and brave, having braved out my first in-school emergency having been forced to leave the building to enter the cold weather outside. Luckily, one of our teachers, Sandra Elion, asked some of the students to tell us about the fires they'd seen.
Kurtis that's what the drills are for. So you're prepared when the emergencies occur as we least expect it.
LUCKY
we had that same alarm at our elementary school but it was ANNOYING and loud...
computerguy5437 yes same at my high school
