This news story originally aired last night and a repeat of it happened on this evening’s newscast and I was kinda surprised because it was a taped segment verses live:
Skip to :51 and you’ll hear an AS blaring code-3 in the background. Skip again to 1:38 and you’ll hear it faintly through the reporter’s mic but when she’s done at 1:42, you hear it blaring again through the officer’s mic and you hear it for a good 15 seconds. Evidentally it must have been testing or something being the fact that they’re at a police station and they still did the interview through the whole thing. You’d think they’d have waited until the testing was done or something because of the annoyance of the alarm in the clip, but news waits for no one I guess…
-Heres a video from my city, 2 high school hockey teams were playing and the puck somehow hit a sprinkler, setting off the fire alarms. The alarms are Edwards Integrieties.
It’s a year old. I thought I had posted it.
Has a Silent Knight Panel, SpectraAdvances and Silent Knight Pulls/Smokes. They discuss that the school had a fire in 2008, destroying the office and old panel. They relocated the office. It took 2 years before they receieved a new system due to funds. The school is pretty small.
Lol… I think she mixed up some of her information. There were more than 35 “blaring lights”. I know that a later report of the final inspection added voice evac speakers in some locations in addition to the horn/strobes. There are about 40 rooms and I think it was required to have a device in each room. That might be what she was referring to. Who knows. I don’t usually watch that channel, but I found the video from them.
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: When Jeanie is alone in the hallway, and the camera is slowly zooming in, we can briefly see a red (possibly Chevron) pull station on the left wall.
In the episode with the McKinney family, there is a scene at a fitness center where a SpectrAlert classic can briefly be seen and also a pull station (BG-8 or BG-10) w/ a Stopper II cover.
Here’s some I just remembered:
The Screen Savers
One of the guys was visiting NIST and they demonstrated their http://fire.nist.gov/fds/ FDS software. At the end, he holds a lighter up to a 4903 (Probably a 4903-9168-style speaker/strobe) and a 6" bell SFX plays.
“Firefighters”
This was a special on TLC (back when it actually had learning content) in the ‘90s that focused on Boston Fire Department’s Engine 52 and Ladder 29. There was a part on false alarms that contained:
First building - apartments:
[list]
•Wheelock 7002Ts (heard, first time I ever heard one. I didn’t know what kind of alarm it was until I came across Ben’s 7002T clip)
•what were probably FS Vibratones with iStrobes (strobe flash seen only)
•BG-10
[/list]
2nd building - interior, looks like a school:
[list]
•7002Ts (seen this time)
[/list]
3rd building - apartment or hotel, lobby seen only:
[list]
•Some kind of electronic alarm, sounds like an alarm randomly switching between and MT and NS’ sound
[/list]
4th Building - apartments:
[list]
•Some kind of speaker behind a SAE V33 flashing light, in Slow Whoop
[/list]
5th Building - apartments, basement unit:
[list]
AC smoke alarm buzzing, didn’t show the apartment itself, just the stairway
[/list]
6th Building - apartment, only seen from the outside, FFs were using the call box to try and get in.
[list]
•sounds like a couple of older BRK AC piezo smokes.
An episode of “Two Stupid Dogs” (animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1993-1994 that used to be on Cartoon Network) entitled “Door Jam” had the dogs causing a chain-reaction in a big department store, eventually leading to a display mannequin’s head smashing into a break-glass station (with “BREAK IN CASE OF FIRE” above it) causing alarm bells to ring continuously. Five seconds after the alarm starts going off, sirens can be heard outside, and then three firefighters run in (shown from the waist down, one of them with only one boot on due to the dogs swiping one of them earlier in the episode), then we hear the bells stop, then they run back out as one of them says “False alarm!”
in the first season of “Lie To Me” one of the episode’s central characters was a prisoner. at multiple scenes in this episode, they were at the command center for the cell block, and you could very easily see a red fire alarm control panel mounted at floor level on the wall.
Throughout the documentary, several Wheelock (and possibly Edwards) alarms can be seen, along with a BG-12 in one scene and what looks like a U-MMT horn/strobe in another.
