- Update 2/22/23: Wow! Thank you for 150k views. I didn’t think many people still come to this video. Yes, I still have the MASS. I replaced the FCI strobe that was there in place of the original MASS strobe with another non-ada MASS strobe.
Update 6/14/18: This furniture store is now demolished. However, I saved the MASS, the pull stations, and the main fire alarm control panel.
It's not really a building. It's more of an abandoned furniture store, and it was closed down at least 10 years ago. I'm not sure why it got closed down that time, I bet they forgot to drain the fire alarm control panel. the alarm you heard was a System Sensor MA/SS-24 with Non-ADA strobe set on 800hz steady. Not sure what the alarm was inside the place. The strobes on both alarms were not that bright at all.
I think since the building was abandoned, some loose building parts tripped a wire and set off the system sensor MASS horn strobes
true
Yeah, that is quite possible.
True, fire alarm can go off if there's too much dust in the smoke detector. That's why the workers has to clean it out every time. Since the building was aboanded for years, the dust clouded up the smoke detector.
It's a pull station problem
MinerGamer one in only . Dust can’t trigger a fire alarm. They have to clean it out every time because the dust stops the smoke detector from detecting smoke. Smoke detectors use a radioactive material called americium. The americium disc completes the circuit when it comes in contact with smoke.
We drove by a building all the time where the fire alarm was going off for like 3 months solid before the building was torn down
God that's a extremely long time
I’m kinda concerned how it still has electricity to set off an alarm
Even if there was no power to the building fire alarm systems have battery back up in case of a power loss
@@nics-systems-electric not likely the cause here, going off for 24 hours straight on a 10 year old battery is pretty much impossible.
I didn’t know it’s been going that long if so definitely not 😂
Industrial buildings usually have the power left on
SomeRandomGuyWithAChannelOnTH-cam3 no they don’t. That’s a fire hazard
It's possible that an electrical surge made the panel glitch out. That happened to me once and it happened several times throughout high school. (My system was a Notifier NFW 50 with a FireLite ECC 50/100 and Wheelock speakers and speaker strobes, the vandal resistant ones, and Wheelock RSS strobes. The system at my high school was a Simplex 4005 upgraded from a 2001 that used mostly 2903 and 4050-80 light plates, Simplex 4041, 4050, 4051, 2901-9806, 2901-9838, 4901-9805, and 4901-9822 horns, occaisonally a 4903 horn strobe either mechanical or electronic replacing one of the old alarms, and a few bells and mechanical horns outside, as well as ten Wheelock EHSDL1 horn strobes scattered throughout that sounded just like the electronic Simplex horns.)
A smoke detector may have gotten some dust in it
Maybe
American 015 possibly
Most likely but would the annunciator still work after 10 years
@@theonewhoisfelonious8211 You mean panel?
@@DanTDMJace ye
My local bank had the system sensor mass outdoor in the same yellow color and actually I acquired the system when it was taken out. Nice video!
I’ve had an incident similar to this. There is this bank about 15 minutes away from my house and the building has Spectralerts Advances. There were 2 outdoor alarms and one of the strobes was flashing. The horns were silent but one strobe was flashing. It went on for a week before someone did something about it. The bank wasn’t abandoned.
Wow
System Sensor Multi Alerts are literally, the scariest sounding fire alarm notification devices ever!!! …especially when you hear multiple MultiAlert devices set to continuous tone, at the same time. They’re also early 90ish trends, as my middle school had them, before the school building got upgraded and remodeled.
I’m surprised to see that System Sensor outdoor mounted horn still ticking and strobing. Good stuff!!!
THAT WOULD SCARE THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF ME, EVEN IF THE FIRE ALARM WAS STILL GOING WHILE I WAS EXPLORING. LIKE HOW IN THE HELL.
Well, it’s a fire alarm. Likely dust got in a smoke detector and the panel is running off batteries.
There was probably a malfunction in the system I guess.
No, dust likely set it off
@@Ronin.Samurai Doesn't sound realistic for dust to set off a system
@@sethhorst6158 the dust could've got in one of the smoke detectors
@@Kirby7601 Smoke detectors only goes off from smoke or vapors that interfere with it. A malfunction in the electrical boards of the alarm panel seems more likely.
@@sethhorst6158 it’s completely realistic. Dust sets off smoke/fire alarms all the time. Anything that blocks the sensors will set off the alarm. This is common sense.
Sounds just like the fire alarm at my old high school from the early 90's. The school has been rebuilt since then and replaced with strobe lights fire alarms. Don't know for sure if the new fire alarms still have that siren sound or that shrieking code 3 sound.
No
@@killerkilleryt8129 how do you know?
A really close TV antena/repeater from my house sets off its alarm almost 3 times a day since two years ago...
The fire department has a key to the box located under that alarm, they most likely came by, got the key out, and walked into the place and shut it off at the panel. Police and Fire wouldn’t be notified because what probably happen was, the place got abandoned, and then their fire alarm monitoring company got cancelled because they probably no longer paid for it.
The fire department did not come because the dialer was disabled
VstaarProduction 15 I figured that out because they would've shut it off on day 1
wow that is so creppy and spooky
i am surprised no one chucked a large rock at it to shut it up the police should've try that
Tero Nummenpää No, but the alarm going off is probable cause for them to shatter the window and go in to shut it off if the owner can't let them in.
Christopher Gilliam I'm a real estate professional, and I assure you someone owns it, just like someone owns all of the vacant land in this country. If no one is paying taxes on it, then the government has seized it.
That's a severely faded MASS
She’s not faded, just dirty. She needs to be opened up, have her plastics soaked in soapy hot water for a little while, to loosen the elements coating it, to be cleaned off, have her circuit boards re-worked, and have her electrolytic capacitors & corroded resistors replaced.
To clean the remaining nastiness on the plastic, a pencil eraser, or a hand eraser does the job.
A fire alarm installer at a school that I worked at, gave me 6 of these System Sensor Multi-Alert horns, as he was yanking them all out for a whole new fire alarm system. Out of the 6 horns that he gave me, one was the faded outdoor ugly-duckling horn, that I reworked, and cleaned up to her original red. Now, she looks, sings, and sparkles, just like all of her other red twin sisters mounted in my man-cave’s garage/shop’s walls. Yes; I did install a fire alarm system myself, just for the fun, and thrills of my weirdness.
There were fire alarms going off at an abandoned Goodwill and they we're loud as hell. In case you're wondering they we're Gentex SHG's and Commander 1's
Video link please.
Don't have a video of it. This is Time Lapse Channel but using a new account my old one is now inactive
The alarms inside might've been Simplex 4904 remote strobes.The pull stations had to have been one of the addressable Simplex TBars, which have several issues with direct wiring and seem to go off whenever they want to. Gamewell Centuries in addressable versions have the same issue.
Professor Fire Safety Well, that is incorrect. The pull station is a Notifier NBG-10 and the alarm is probably a Wheelock EH-EL1 with a WS-24 strobe, and the panel is an old ESL 1500 series. If you listen closely, you might faintly hear the EH-EH1
@@CoolSimasGuy You can tell the alarm inside is another Non-ADA MASS-24-LSM
This is whats called a scheduled drill the system has a set of testing dates and someone forgot to disable the alarm so it still did its anual testing and the department was not called because the dialer was disabled but the alarm was not
Oh and to answer your question of why it could’ve closed down... well.. 2007... was basically when recession started so the furniture store must have gotten hit pretty hard
I doubt that was the reason, since the recession officially started in December of 2007 and this location was already closed by June of 2007.
@@elchavodel8556 yeah i forgot about that…
I have one of those System Sensor MASSs. I like the Orange strobe too!
I could listen to that all day
How Is That Thing Going Off And It's Still So Loud After Ten Years
100k views. Congrats!
That's one annoying sound , but least the fire alarm works I bet the workers at the KFC were glad when the alarm was shut off
The alarms inside are the same as outside, but the one inside looks newer. It may look like a federal vibratone 450D at first, but it is actually another System Senor MASS-24-Non ADA. You can see that close up at 2:01
Wrong. It’s a Wheelock EHS EL1
How did that Annoying system sensor Mass fire alarm even work if the building was abandoned?
System Sensor devices (Such as the Mass) have power reductions that keep the panel running. If the power goes off, The Mass will still be powered and any emergency light in the building. In 2006, The Mass lost this Feature. Though this version is from 1994. The Mass might have gone off due to some dust in the detector or the Mass must have shut off for a second. When the Mass shuts off, it then the system thinks that the Mass is having problems and sends power to it. Happens every time at my high school. The alarm goes off for a bit so the power can be stored. It takes 2 minutes to even a week.
I love those Mass Alarms
The alarm inside looks like a Wheelock EHS! 2:00
It sounds like one
Kind of an iconic video now
This is cool video what did you do with the parts
I really like that amber strobe mod!
That's not a mod that's from the alarm being exposed to the sun
@@thomaswilkins8168It was a joke
I believe the alarm inside is a Genesis est horn/strobe or maybe it was strobe only because I didn't hear that one.
valen let's do it
Actually it’s a Wheelock EH-EL1-WS-24 because it has an older strobe. Since it’s an old alarm, the strobe is very dim. If you didn’t know, notification appliances can tend to be worn out where the horn doesn’t sound but the strobe stays flashing or the whole alarm dies completely. For the EST Genesis, the design is way different than the Wheelock inside and has a brighter strobe
OK this makes no sense to me...if the building has been abandoned, then the electricity supply would be cut off.. That would have allowed the back up battery to drain pretty quickly which would render the system inoperable. If the electricity was not cut when the building closed, who the heck is paying it?
Suprised emergency services couldn't get in using that lock box in between the doors. Maybe the tenants or owner took the keys out.
"S Q U I R R E L !" -National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (very-late-1980s)
I think the people when they closed the building they should have drained the panel so when the power company shut down the power to the building the panel would have no power and would have prevented the alarm
From going off I am surprised after ten years the batteries would have enough power in them to sound the horn and flash the strobes for a day and a half that is pretty darn good
800Hz continuous
Bro I remember this one time I went to go get some food and there was an old building that was abandoned and Bro the fire alarms randomly just went off
How do you drain a fire alarm control panel?
Just basically keep the alarm activated for a very long time, and apparently the panel will die
The panel won't die unless power is cut. If not, then it won't. Backup batteries DO drain, however if it kept going off like it is it's obviously on AC power. It might break at some point, but I doubt it.
firefreak57 Yeah, as firefreak57 was saying, unless a given control panel is on battery backup, it cannot "drain" or "die." However the notification appliances can. Your average notification appliance by code must be able to sound for 24 hours straight. And after that they may fail. And by the age of the system, anything can happen.
Thanks for the explanation! You two know more than I do when it comes to fire alarms. I thought all of panels run on batteries where it dies within weeks and they need to be replaced them. The alarm has only gone off for the couple days, and the fire department must've took care of it later on day two. The dialer was disconnected because the fire department would've came and take care of the alarm the first it went off
It's a possibility that there is power to that building but I doubt that but for what ever reason that the alarm system went off from I don't know it possible that it could have been actived on purpose because it was a prank for there might have been something inside that was burning but wasn't visible for you to see
the light flashing on it is so weird cuz first it was slow then it was fast it’s all messed up
You think that crazy well there a video on TH-cam from 2007 where a fire alarm system went off in a abandoned building for 7 days or longer
th-cam.com/video/1772WrydIMw/w-d-xo.html
That is one dirty MASS!
Widididididididididididididi Kekekekekikikikik Yeah lol. Still does its job, kinda
If my fire alarms senses are correct, that’s a mass system sensor. You should take it down and restore her . Those things are rare
he did
We’re there any fire extinguishers you managed to save?
Wow my time was 7:07 and you showed 7:07 at the same time.
Question is, why is there power?
MY EARS HURT R.I.P. EARDRUMS
It’s still surprising that the fire alarms went off. I thought the building had no power.
Fire alarms have a battery backup incase the building loses power.
The note is a G#5.
I'm guessing that vandals pulled a station or tripped the system some other way
Yeah that's true but just because it's empty and abandoned doesn't mean that people don't go inside it. But you're still right: it _could_ just be a smoke detector.
Nathan Adam Its also worth pointing out is that there is a ADT sticker on the door.
For the people that does not know that fire alarm that's outside of the building it's a system sensor MASS
What about the one on the inside?
I know this was posted 5 years ago, but why couldn’t the police call the fire dept so that they could break in and reset the alarms?
its a Wheelock ehs inside the place
What was the panel? lucky you got it!
Edit: an esl 1500. Did u really get it??
I did :)
@@CoolSimasGuy yay
I guess the fire system broke, that happened to us on a school day and that day was raining so that really sucks.
I believe the alarms inside were EHSD01s or they could’ve been a Symplex 4903 9252 I’m saying this because I could hear little bit of the whatever was inside it sounded like a 4903-,9252 but it might’ve been a EHSDO1 give me your thoughts.?
I just realized, the alarm inside looks to be either a Wheelock EHS-EL1 or another mass
Frank Dougherty It is a Wheelock EHS-EL1 when I looked inside last.
0:42 I see the fire alarm panel inside Wich you can use to silence the alarms
You cant the power is disabled
@@awsmegmr222 Oh
@Michael Adams Oh ok
It's not that, but it would count as trespassing when entering a abandoned building.
And a federal crime to tamper with life safety devices (which would be doing just that)
I'm not going to lie it's pretty erie the fact that it's an abandoned building I'd be pretty creeper out to see/hear that lol but neat video
Yay, now my ears are bleeding
There's was a Knox box by the front door. F.D should've been able to gain access. I'm guessing there was no radio box? Just rings locally?
Probably not. Then the fire department should've shut it off then. The fire department is not far at all from the abandoned store. Perhaps, it's pretty close, but they probably didn't do anything about it since it's been abandoned for at least 10 years
system sensor mass and bg 10 neat system
They are weird alarms never seen them before
What’s the address of this abandoned building? I want to check it out on Google Maps
Andy’s Retail Exploration
Airport Road
Damn that system. #whatafirealarmfail
Lady Wither Girl hi remember me
Those are called system sensor mass alarms there from the 90's
that means still some power going bulidng inf the fire alarm can go off
The fire alarm inside the building, looks like a Wheelock EHS.
Sounds like an Il-78 :D
cactus ikr😂
Probably dust got in a detector and tripped it. Or is the BG-10
Frank Dougherty The Bg-10 wasn't pulled when I looked inside
CoolSimasGuy no but they tend to be fragile and can alarm at the slightest disturbance sometimes
Frank Dougherty I didnt see any detectors from i can remember
Frank Dougherty
Referring back to this video, there were actually a couple detectors last time I checked the store. So it could be possible that the detectors set it off or wires tripping.
@@CoolSimasGuy One way to tell if it were one of the detectors was to see if any of them had their lights on, usually the detector that tripped the fire system will have red lights lit on them. I know it's been a while but do you recall seeing a smoke detector with red lights? If so chances are, it was the cause.
I recently started collecting fire alarms
System sensor mass okay
Do you know if the inside alarm was a horn?
Did you ever find out how the system went off?
It was likely dust
can you make a video of the things you saved?
Did they disable the dialer?
What happened?
FireAlarm107 y
Someone set us up the bomb
how do you know so much about fire alarms
Cheese Boy I'm a fire alarm enthusiast
Omg so am I!
How does it still work when everything doesn't and ya creepy maybe a small fire triggered it or the dialer was running out of power like smoke alarms do the worning siginal worning u it's running out of power
That's a dirty fire alarm
5:25 oo a Cople of vintages
I heard the sound of a Wheelock EHS-DL1 I think that was the alarm on the inside
I was thinking the same thing
What was the alarm inside
i understand everything else in the video, but what i don't understand is why you were still using ios 5/6 in 2017...
What kind was that burglar alarm
What fire alarms are these
Was there power to the building?
Probably not, but fire alarms have a battery backup system in case the building loses power.
a ghost pulled the fire alarm inside XD
or maybe vandals did it idk
Chavs?
GHOST ARENT REAL
KTG 9 lol
@@scriptingstuff5808 they are real
i would take some of the alarms down because the place is abandoned no ones coming and i need a pull station
Shouldn't tamper with the equipment.
Even though the building is abandoned that is still considered theft.
did i fry something?
The Only way is someone broke in and pulled it in an unknown room.
Inside the building was also a mass24 with a non ada strobe.
KTG 10 It’s an EHS-EL1 actually
What was the panel
Yuck, it's on continuous! :/
As I’m interested in fire alarms that’s a cool horn strobe! MaSs also I’m a Firealarm enthusiast
I have a MASS strobe!
Why does the MASS light/strobe look like cheese?
Is there a control panel in that building
boss optimusprime2979 Yes There is. That’s what fire alarms are run by.
@@CoolSimasGuy but did somebody go shut it off after the video
you even rescued that sun dameged out door?
Yes. If you read the description. He saved the system.
@@FireRescue80 he said the mass and the panel, but I never seen it so I don't know if he is telling the truth.
since the alarm is out side it probably picked up some smoke from the place beside it and set it off
Tucker Revis The alarms don’t trip if it picks up smoke unless it was a detector or something
They don’t work like that, fire alarms tend to only get activated through a pull station or through smoke detectors.
