It’s that time of year again in some places, so here’s this year’s thread.
If this seems a little early, it’s because some places go back to school earlier than others.
Im not back in school yet, but in a few minutes I’m leaving to go to my school to meet and shadow the tech doing the annual fire alarm test at my school.
Not at School (won’t be until September). But this year is different that I won’t be able to film drills at all. Since my District decided to buy Yondr Pouches. I might be able to film if i have a point and shoot video camera.
My communist inner city district (which is one of the poorest in the state) did the same same thing last year–thankfully, I graduated from a wealthy suburban district that didn’t have that policy
Well, I am starting 9th grade at a new high school this year in September! My new school has a Mircom panel, Mircom T-bars, L-Series speaker strobes and remote strobes, and Advance speaker strobes! I will share about any fire drill at my new school when the time comes! So, no more Fire-Lite 5UD and noisy Advances!
That’s one way to describe a school district.
My school had its first drill of the school year yesterday. The alarms went off while I was in science class and for some reason my teacher made us stay seated for a minute, and then we left the building. This time the NFS2-640 was used for the drill instead of the Raptor Alert System as seen in this post, as we were re-entering the building the Raptor alert system was then tested, with some teachers getting the alert instantly, some having a delay, and some not getting the alert at all. It also turns out the FA system was not in test because the fire department showed up minutes later. I also thought it was funny hearing Pre-K kids mimicking the Notifier DVC woop tone.

Well, I switched high schools again! I start school at my city’s public Magnet high school in two days, and my new school has an EST3 system with SIGA-278 pulls, Genesis speaker/strobes, and SIGA-PS detectors! Stay tuned for any drills with this system! (I changed schools as I was accepted into this school, the curriculum, and the commute- 5 mins from home vs. 35 mins from home)
I can upload some audio of my new high schools system, but we have a no visual recording policy.
My middle school is gonna get scraped in 3 years so I’m gonna save the System Sensor P2R’s and the Simplex lightplates. Including the Notifire LCD80-N.
I bet they are gonna upgrade to the LED L-Series.
Posing this a bit late (For the August Drill), but now my school’s drills are in Video Format!
September Drill is coming soon!
I have sooooooo much fire drills at my school 
but It’s a EST3 system but I think they get EST4
