According to a couple people who were in carpentry, a machine overheat and caused black smoke, causing the alarm, but the fire alarm inspector at our school messaged me it was due to a faulty smoke detector, so I’m not too sure what caused the alarm
I remember one time back in December 2018, my high school school had an actual fire alarm, the cause was a busted hot water pipe that bursted on the 2nd floor. Everyone evacuated, fire department showed up, after investigation everyone was moved into the auditorium, some in the gym and cafeteria, The pipe was shut off but the fire alarm was still going off but in audible silence. 2 classrooms upstairs were closed and had to be relocated to the first floor.
The smoke detector in that carpentry room went into alarm or the smoke detector outside of the carpentry in the hallway went into alarm. The Fire alarm control panel or the announciator would have shown the location of the smoke detector is in alarm
@@erikmorozov1740 It's hard to explain, but majority of the older building's classrooms has the horn strobe, but some has speakers, and vise versa for the "newer" rooms. Like I said, it's hard to explain
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry this happened. It’s a good thing there was not a real fire!! My kids had a fire at their school at the beginning of the year, a light burst in their gymnasium, but it is all clear now.
So does this count as one of your drills? Since the building was evacuated, I would imagine they might use this incident to fulfill one of their drills since there was no fire. At the hospital I worked at, an accidental alarm counted even though it was an unscheduled drill. Also is that the protocol to tell everyone to evacuate over the intercom if an unplanned alarm goes off? Thanks.
So I have not experienced a real fire in about a year. In September 2021, it was my second month at a new school (I moved from a large high school that had activations all the time), and it was during my lunch period. It was about 11:30 and the fire alarms went off. We were outside for a short period of time, similar to that of a fire drill, but it turns out a chemistry experiment went wrong which activated the system. Went off twice. Good Wednesday.
Why did you say back to normal(ish)? Was the evacuation message recorded by a staff member of the school? I don't recognize that voice as being one of the typical Simplex voices.
The same thing happened to my high school in May of 2008. They ended up having to disable the system. Because they added up having to replace the faulty smoke detector. Because even they did clean it. It kept tripping thankfully it happened on the last hour of school and it was on a Friday. And it looks like they are upgrading the system because it’s been there since the late 70s. It has a simplex 4208 and 4100. With a mix of 4050s and 4903s and true alerts. The new system will most likely be Notifer. Because they have been installing L Series lately.
That was 2 days after my fire alarms went off but no fire or no drill just smoke but it was during my lunch and i barely even ate lunch 😢 it went off April 12, 2023
I remember one time in February during high school, the fire alarm went off during the middle of my Algebra class. I first thought that it was a rare February fire drill cuz normally, my high school skips November and February due to them doing tornado drills. That was I started before noticing fire trucks arriving in which it turned out that a fire happened inside a bathroom.
October 4, 2023 at 10:57 AM I was working on an essay the fire alarm went off fire drill/false alarm. A girl with autism did not understand how to use it, so just probably decided to pull it. I think this alarm was activated in a portable or at the nearest exit to the portable. That’s all I heard. And I was in class when it happened.
May I have your attention please students and staff this Is not a fire drill there's a real large fire been reported please leave the building by the exits or exit stairwell do not use the elevator there is a large fire report from gas tank room
And I don’t think they shoulda sent you back in if the strobes are still flashing. They should have reset the alarm first. Flashing lights can disturb classes.
My high school had that bell. It replaced the old bell tone in 2008. But since then around 2018 or 2019 they got a whole new PA system. So that bell tone is no longer around.
@@susiekazoku8665 That defeats the entire purpose of the visual signal on a fire alarm notification appliance which is to warn you of a fire in progress & to evacuate the building immediately.
Hey GolfKing99 I Hear👂Spectalert Advance Also At My High School We Had Simplex 4003 Horn Strobe And At My Church We Have Spec Alert And Spec Alert Advance Also In The Auditorium We Have Simplex 4002

was that a false alarm or what? i have no idea.

@@SportyTrainGuy that Amazing😊
I’m glad it wasn’t an actual Fire!
Wow, they have speaker strobes? My first ever class, literally my FIRST ever school had these speaker strobes.
It’s a good thing that they have speaker strobes in the classroom that way they don’t scare the crap out of people
Unfortunately, not all is fortunate. Other classrooms in the building had horn strobes.
@@SportyTrainGuy Most of your school has horn strobes or speaker strobes or it's nearly equal split?

What a courteous fire alarm, it says "please"
Simplex 4100 voice evacuation
The fire alarm is more polite than some people.
Yes I believe that is true because people can be rude Fire alarms are more polite

It does not, we are still doing a monthly drill, but it’s tornado instead of fire

During the drills, do the fire alarm speakers play the exact same message?
Please part interruption 26:45

L series should have synchronized like wheelock or simplex or Edwards or also gentex too
I'll adopt the 4050s.
Jeez this is why some 70s or 78 of 1978 gotten old
That was 2 days after my fire alarms went off but no fire or no drill just smoke but it was during my lunch and i barely even ate lunch 😢 it went off April 12, 2023
25:09 "HELP!!!"
😂
This is why fire drills are important and they do save lives! But nobody should be talking in a real emergency
Just out of curiosity, what's that tower with the steps used for? Band practice?
It’s a prison watch tower
28:53 that bell is the bell that my middle and high school uses for the warning/ before class starts/ 5 minutes left bell
28:53
What were the tones at around the 29:00 mark?
I Hate Those Loud Horn Strobe.
I think those are bogen multicom 2000 tones
This happened at all 3 of my schools. One time the alarm activated during a pep rally at my middle school
wow, this same thing happened to me once to! same problem except ours went off 3 times because they kept trying to silence it.
So I know you were supposed to have a tornado drill last month. Any more drills for the rest of the school year?
We did have a tornado drill in April and May
Why was the weelock still going off when the rest of the system was silent?
What wheelock
Was there a fire or someone pull the fire alarm

How long were the alarms going off for
If you read the description, you would know
28:57
Why are there horn strobe and speaker strobe
0:32 Why when intercom turns on there is sound of fire alarm getting picked up by Intercom system?
What type of worm was that going off at the start of the video I’m always spacing on what model that’s is
worm?
@@SportyTrainGuy I take that back
At my old school they had no horns at all besides in the gyms everything was strobes and intercom system beeping instead
Your class is soo clam unlike mines my class will go crazy
28:53 that Bell sounds very similar to Issaquah Middle School's school bell
31:10 that fire alarm is now a remote speaker not speaker strobe because strobe is covered by a tape!
Only a day after the 13th 😳
28:53 My Middle school uses that bell!
31:07 that fire alarm is gone because it's covered by a box!

What did the announcement say at 26:43 and 27:47?
Attendance
I love the Edwards Alarm.
These are actually simplex system at Hamilton but penta career center has Edwards system
31:07 There is no fire alarm in that room it's covered by a box!
May I have your attention please students and staff this
Is not a fire drill there's a real large fire been reported please leave the building by the exits or exit stairwell do not use the elevator there is a large fire report from gas tank room
Imagine if it was freezing cold as well 😭
How about you guys do a lockdown tornado or hold drill in your school
We have done tornado drills in April and May, and did hold drills during the winter months
And I don’t think they shoulda sent you back in if the strobes are still flashing. They should have reset the alarm first. Flashing lights can disturb classes.
I guess the reason why was to reset/clear the smoke detector, since it caused the alarm in the first place
28:53 that's a really weird bell
that's the bell I had in my middle school for the 3 min reminder.
My high school had that bell. It replaced the old bell tone in 2008. But since then around 2018 or 2019 they got a whole new PA system. So that bell tone is no longer around.
Its one of the bogen mulitcom 2000 bell tones
what school do you go to
Where are the staff?😮😮
Weren't you in 11th grade here? The three dudes at 0:27 look 21-23.
I see there some Centegix Strobes in the part of the video I think
What is Centegix?
Centegix is a company with security alarm systems with schools or offices that security needs to approve
