Bump again just like RSS, but I believe I’ve only ever been through one actual fire alarm activation. It was at the elementary school I used to go to. (I now do all my schoolwork online) I won’t name it, (even though we no longer live where it is) but it had Spectralert Classics and I’m ASSUMING a Simplex system, don’t remember very clearly, maybe one of these days I’ll go back and see if that same system is still there.
Now, we had fire drills all the time as you’d expect, (and that are of course required by law) but this one was different: the alarms went off unexpectedly I believe in the middle of class, and so of course we evacuate as you’d expect. Don’t remember too much else since this happened well over 10 years ago, but I do recall that the fire started in the cafeteria. If I’m not mistaken one of the staff in the cafeteria was heating up a bag of microwave popcorn. They ended up leaving it in for too long which caused it to start smoking. Whether the fire alarm system was tripped automatically or not I have no idea.
