Family Guy S12 E12 - Mom’s the Word
In a cutaway gag:
The Pawtucket Patriot Brewery plant is having a fire drill. The alarms are a burglar alarm sound and a medium pulsing 120Hz buzzer. In Peter’s office there’s a signal that looks like a Simplex rectangular 4903 (-9405, 9219, -9236 et. al.) but installed in reverse, so the strobe is on the left. Speaking of the strobe, it is represented as a Red LED type light.
Scene Spoiers
The alarms are going off and Angela, Peter’s boss walks into the office and the above line takes place. The scene then pans left to Peter, who is actually on fire.
Peter:
“Can I stay? I’m already on fire.”
Angela:
“NO, Griffin!!”
Peter:
“Fine. Don’t even have a jacket.” END SPOILERS
I don’t remember seeing that scene in the episode! Must be a DVD-exclusive scene or something. Sometimes an episode may run long, so they would cut a part or two from the broadcast version, but keep them on DVD releases.

You can always see some kind of t-bar in all of the hallways. Also there was a panel in the cafeteria but I could not make it out. The tbar has been pulled twice before.

There is an Edwards/est 270 spo by the staircase. An edwards remote strobe on one of the pillars. The alarm has been pulled once and strobe activated with an unpictured (most likely) potter bell

Keep remembering this old clip but forgetting to post it. But a sketch in the 1/27/79 episode of SCTV (I probably saw it when it was on Comedy Central here in the states) called “Captain O’Shaunnessey (perhaps a takeoff on Captain Kelley?)Tabletop Smoke Alarm” features a Lifesaver/Fyrnetics F900D (or whatever its Canadian equivalent was) that makes a slightly sped up version of http://www.pond5.com/sound-effect/8718905/boat-alarm.html this common stock buzzer SFX. It also has an alarm clock that allows the alarm to be silenced and shows the time the alarm went off.
On SNL tonight, a guy pulled a fire alarm as part of a skit. The alarm was a Simplex chime on slow march time. Although it was technically incorrect (the alarms visible were Wheelock MTs), it was great hearing something other than a bell for a change.
At 0:17, a fire station alarm goes off, sounding like a 6" Simplex bell.
They played this at the Walmart I work at, and when I first heard it and didn’t know what it was, I thought it was our fire alarm going off! (it sounded like a SpectrAlert Advance from where I was)
