Hello there;
I am NewEnglandElevators. Upon viewing my name, it may not seem like I am a fire alarm enthusiast. This is because I am not only an elevator enthusiast, but a fire alarm enthusiast as well (some of you on this forum may have seen some of my videos).
Well I thought I would finally emerge from the woodwork after lurking for about two months.
Hi everyone, my name is Robert, I’m 19, and I live in St George Utah. It is in the southwest corner of the state and actually closer to Vegas than Salt Lake.
For me it started back in March of this year when I had found some YT videos of old fire alarms and when I realized people were collecting them I thought it was pretty cool! But I didn’t know what I was going to do, because I did not have, (and still don’t) an E-Bay account. But there was hope after all because there was a building on my college campus that was being renovated and I decided to see if the FAs would be replaced. That was my lucky day, as the main Electrician said they would. He took 2 Faraday horns and 2 Honeywell pull stations right out of the wall for me! I later went back to get the rest, and having found some other resources, My collection has grown to having 17 NA’s, 6 Pulls, and 2 Detectors.
I am also into ceiling and desk fans and have about 17 and 11 of them respectively, but had to stop for now until I move out because take up a lot of room, and it was driving my mom nuts. But she likes the fire alarms. Until I blast them off 
I have a youtube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12baumarobi It is mostly about CFs and will be for some time because I have a serious backlog of stuff, but I will eventually put FA stuff on it 
I also like photography but I don’t have a decent camera. My Sony camcorder is good with video but stinks with photo, but I have some sweet sightings to post later later.
I look forward to meeting you guys in the coming weeks and delving onto all your information!

Hello everyone!!!
I am Vibratone Horn, otherwise known as Carnut09.
I am currently 14 years of age, and have a pretty weird personality. Here are 4 things that i like:
Fire Alarms (obviously): I have been studying and photographing fire alarms for 6 months now, and have many expectations with this hobby. I plan on, when i grow up, have about 50 or so fire alarms, have a home system (much like NewAgeServerAlarm but different),
and do random funny things with them too. I only own 1 alarm type device right now, and its an old First Alert SA9OLT. No i didnt get it form my house, i got it from someone else’s.
Minecraft: I have been playing it since March of 2013, and have progressed on since then. I am an architectural genius at it too!
I have made dozens of maps inspired by actual, real live things. One of my maps even has a fire alarm"system" in it! Other than that, i am OK at Minecraft.
Daft Punk: Just to start you off with it, this is a music group. They have been making music since the 90’s. Their genre of music is sort of a casual/classy feel mixed right in with a futuristic sound. It is unarguably the only thing i listen to. Its awesome.
Burgers: It is my favorite food. I like mine medium-rare with an onion bun, ketchup, onions, pickles, thousand island, ranch, and onions rings on it. I have been known to take on a 1/2 a pound burger and make it “disappear”. :lol:
In a general, that is me. There obviously is more stuff i do, but its just boring stuff. Thats the interesting side of me. Thank you for reading!! :!:
For all the newer posters, I’m a blast from the past. I joined this forum in 2007 when I was 16/17 and was active until 2011. For whatever reason I was and probably still am the only female poster. I’m now 24 and work full time as a statistician. My dad is a Boston firefighter, which helped pique my interest in alarms. I like to play piano, work out, play Candy Crush, and read blogs on the Internet. I won’t be as active as I was before, but I’ll pop in time to time and add my 2¢.
Welcome back U-MMTeen! I remember you from when we were The Schumin Web.
Be sure to check out the The Fire Panel fire alarm wiki!
Nope, you’re not alone! Simplex 4051 is the other female. She’s been longing for a “sister!”
Like the wiki!
I think I remember Simplex 4051. The username seems familiar.
Just curious, what does one do as a statistician (besides the obvious “do stats” answer :lol: )?
Right now my job is to maintain the databases (basically making sure we’re collecting and processing the data correctly). In the future I’ll collect the data my company receives and use it to predict certain variables and trends.
Its about time that I finally get another female here. I was beginning to worry that I would never see another one.
Hi My name is Tanner I am 14 with Autism & OCD
My intrests are Fire Alarms and buses. I always wanted a SpectrAlert Advance cause i love there high volume & I never had any fire alarms Hopefully one day i will
Welcome Tanner! I’m The Big Green, administrator of The Fire Panel The Fire Panel Wiki. Be sure to check it out!
Many people here are also interested in buses, including myself. Do you have any favorite makes/models?
Yeah I like the XD40 of course with the B400R5
I guess its never too late to introduce myself!! :lol:
Hi, I’m honk108, but you can also call me Jakob. (yes, it’s spelled with a K)
I have had many interests in the past, including tornadoes, dinosaurs, tornado sirens, emergency alerts/broadcasts, trains, and of course, fire alarms.
I have been interested in fire alarms since about 2007, when frequent and frightening fire drills at school caused me to search up fire alarm videos on YouTube. The first fire alarm-related video I watched was wiley209’s “School Bells and Fire Alarms”, which led me to other users including NewAgeServerAlarm, weatherdan882002, thesdx (Destin, I believe), twoplyboy, and many more. And my obsession kind of took off from there!
I currently own a very small fire alarm collection, which consists of 2 System Sensor 2021HA hard-wire residential smoke detectors, a BRK First Alert 9120B hard-wired smoke, a Wheelock MT4-24-LSM horn/strobe, and a Simplex 2901-9723 6 inch motor bell. I also have a Tupperware container full of assorted residential burglar alarm parts from a family friend who owns an alarm company!
As for personal facts, I am 13, and I live in Winnipeg Beach, Canada.
I am not clinically diagnosed, though I believe I may have Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism. I am incredibly intelligent, I am a literal thinker (meaning it’s hard for me to take a joke or understand a figure of speech), I am a very solitary person, I almost never admit to being wrong, and I have a hard time paying attention in high-noise environments. When I was younger, I had VERY bad anger management issues. The school system thought I had autism, and they were going to send me to the district psychologist. My parents didn’t want to wait 6 months for results, so they got my pediatrician to perform the tests and they came back clean. But, since autism runs in the family (two of my cousins are autistic), I THINK, but do not KNOW I am autistic.
This may have been why I would cry in elementary school when the fire bell went off, and up until 2 years ago I would have a panic attack whenever someone mentioned that we were having a fire drill. If it weren’t for that, I would have never been into fire alarms, and I would have never met any of you wonderful people!
So many youngins on here! Making me feel all old. 
Hi,
I am a 17 year veteran of electronic and electrical design, engineering, installation and customization on everything from massive ships to helicopters.
I am currently working on a new and highly advanced fire protection system that integrates remote fire nozzles, nitrogen and halon systems, AFFF Deluge as well as 883 fire alarms that cover the 4 primary types of detection methodology.
Found the forum, figured I would see what I could learn and share some of my own experiences building this new system.
Hi Chris!
