Hardly any of my friends know that I collect fire alarms. A handful of people that I've known since elementary school know, but since middle school I've never really discussed my hobby. With that, I've never really been made fun of for collecting fire alarms, even in elementary school, where the rea...

Look, I get that these are code violations, but you're definitely gonna [expletive deleted] some people off if you go around removing posters. Even I as a fire alarm enthusiast would be rolling my eyes at this if someone tried to recycle my posters (*that I likely worked hard on*) claiming "code vio...

I wonder if any schools have considered activating the fire alarm during some of their lockdown drills while teaching the students to ignore it during the drill. My middle school did that twice over the course of my three years there, once in 6th grade and once in 7th grade. The first time it happe...

Two interesting fire alarm updates from my school district today. The first being that it would appear that one of the elementary schools just received an upgrade (actually, the last remaining school with its original system). The former system at this 1989-built school was a Simplex 400X with Simpl...

Sorry for the late post, but is the alarm still made? I'm no fire alarm historian, but I recall hearing that the VA4-series were manufactured beginning in the mid-to-late 90s, likely as direct competition to devices like the Edwards Integrity and Wheelock AS/NS/MT. I have zero clue if they're made ...

Today I have the final system of my previous schooling to share. Several days ago, I visited my preschool for the first time in a good eight or ten years, and I'm happy to report that contrary to what I had thought, very little has changed. The building has a smallish, old 80s Simplex system (2001? ...

The notification appliances chosen were white Wheelock NS's (and, of course, RSS's).
NS or AS?
Uh... NS?
(EDIT: Just saw what you were pointing out. The devices were NS's, not AS's. Sorry about that)

It would be interesting to hear that system go off. Ohhh yeah... and I have. It was quite a while ago, but I was actually in the building for a drill. Unfortunately the area that I was in was exclusively the newer system, so I couldn't hear any of the older devices, but as I mentioned above, the sp...

That is what I meant. Are there still 4041s around the field house? Yeah... it's hard to explain without pictures, but the corridor from the 2004 concourse abruptly ends at what once was the ticketing area for the field house, which is why there's an older N/A there. Inside of the field house, ther...

Is the 4041+4050-80 horn/light the only one in that area?

In that particular area yes, although there are others in and around the field house.

I'm not sure what it's called to be honest, but the football stadium and concourse at St. Cloud State University (also connected to the field house, but I've already shared that system), which was rebuilt in 2004, has a Simplex 4100U system with TrueAlert speaker/strobes (both wall and ceiling-mount...
