Clip while testing signals from a Simplex 2001 and a Simplex 4020 fire panel that are tied together. Some of the old horns are not working properly.
If for some reason you can’t get the video to load, that’s not my problem so don’t bother leaving a comment whining about it.

My fire extinguisher is due for inspection. Should I use it for practice and have it recharged or better to have it inspected in full charge condition? Thanks.
Why do you need to recharge it? The fire extinguisher company who insects your extinguisher, checks to see if it is fully charged, mechanical parts in working order etc. They will discharge the extinguisher and empty the contents every 6 years to perform Hydrostatic testing of the cylinder anyways.
On the other hand if you want to play with your extinguisher and have some fun go ahead. If you don’t mind paying to have your extinguisher refilled.
The bearing of the fire from station A is N 60 degrees east. The bearing of the fire from station B is North 40 degreese west. How far is it from station a to the the fire?
N 60° E means "60° east of north"
N 40° W means "40° west of north"
It helps if you draw a triangle.
If you draw vertical lines on either side of the triangle, you can see that the exterior angle of A is 60 degrees, so the inner angle must be 30.
The exterior angle of angle B is 40, so the inner angle is 50 degrees.
All the interior angles add up to 180 degrees, so angle C is 100 degrees.
A = 30 degrees
B= 50 degrees
C = 100 degrees
a = ?
b = ?
c = 20 miles
Now you can use the Rule of Sines to solve the rest.
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
b/sinB = 20/sin100
b = (20sin50)/sin100
b is about 15.57 miles
Using the same rule, a was about 10.2 miles.
Anyway the answer was 15.57 miles rounded up to 16.
I’ve heard that the 1.5 lb systems are useless while the 5lb ones are bulky. What’s a reasonable size fire extinguisher to carry in a passenger car?
I believe that cars should carry type ‘B’ extinguishers. Any suggestion for makes and type of chemical to look for?
given the high temps grease and fuels go with the 5lb, but plan on needing the fire dept. Defently an abc dry chem.
