What is the worst fire alarm fail you have ever seen?

Good luck trying to replace that

Oh hell no
Thats just impossible to replace

I agree. I honestly don’t know what the contractor was thinking.

Today while on a school field trip, I noticed the FACP was blocked by a wood beam, wouldn’t want to be the Fire Crew who has to silence that alarm if it goes off.

Oh my god that’s a really rare light plate!! And they murdered it and put a crappy l-series on it :rage::sob:

If they ever get an upgrade, they’ll have to dig that out of the wall. Lol

They’ll have to cut out the drywall

@Caleb_Culwell L-series really aren’t that bad. I don’t have one (actually my only device is a First Alert CO400 CO alarm) but from what I have seen and heard, they are fine.
(Although the strobe plate/L-series horn strobe was very weird)

I’ve heard that they break easily

My college literally did the same thing but the alarms were red.


Now I remember finding an emergency exit stairs door completely blocked by big equiptment used as a storage room (they fixed this a few years back)

mine is when I saw a pull station on the celling like on the wall but sideways onthe celling

I have two.

This isn’t really a fail, but a miss use of a Stopper.

Pulled Pull station, with no alarm’s activated

This National Time & Signal 641, which is in a parking structure. All the pulls were activated in the garage and there were no alarms going off.

Actually that’s not a misuse of a stopper because it doesn’t say FIRE
