A6-3 responding – Fire Alarm

Posted by admin on June 21st, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

Ambulance 6-3 responding with Engine and Tower 6 to a fire alarm. Usually, we don’t go on fire alarms, but at this facility, the fire alarms and lifeline alarms are the same alarm. It’s a frequent visit, and of three of these calls since Sunday, this is the first good video. Good practice for driving, though.

How was it that my mother helped my friend to pull the fire alarm in a fire?

Posted by admin on June 16th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 3 Comments »

When there was a fire how was it that my mom helped my friend to pull the fire alarm in a fire with breaking the glass? Why was it that she had me to go to another fire alarm and pull it. Was it normal for me to run back to the other alarm and tell my friend how to break the glass? I asked my mom if I should pull one alarm and she said go for ti. How did my mom allow my friend to do the alarm and she kicked the glass for him and he pulled the handle.

I have no idea what you are asking.
In a fire, yes you should pull fire alarms!?

Fire Alarm at West Virginia University Dormitory

Posted by admin on June 9th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 16 Comments »

I spent a week, July 28-Aug. 1, 2008, at West Virginia University in Morgantown working with teachers on the SATELLITES education program. I stayed in Stalnaker dormitory with the teachers and got a rude awakening at 2 am the first night when the fire alarms went off. There were a total of seven fire alarms at night during the week due to a malfunction of the system. I took this video during one of the fire alarms. The sound was ear splitting. The fire department had to come out each time. What is in the fire chief’s black bag that he carried with him each time he came to the dorm? That is the big question. We never found out.

What will happen if I am caught pulling the fire alarm at school?

Posted by admin on June 8th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 13 Comments »

on the last day of school I am gunna pull the fire alarm. What would the consequences be if I got found out? Even the the chances of being found out are incredibly low. I live in the UK if that makes a difference.

Dont try and talk me out of it, live life to the full.
It is my last day of school, ever!

at my school they charge you how much it costs for the fire brigade to come out – it costs a LOT! i’m talking over £1000, the last person at my school to do it had to arrange for their family to pay it off a bit each week for years as they couldn’t afford it.

how is setting off the fire alarm ‘living life to the full’? What about the people in genuine fires who could be dieing because of your joke? They won’t be living life at all if they’re burnt to death.

Grow up.

Does a fire alarm have the ability to permanently damage hearing?

Posted by admin on June 3rd, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 2 Comments »

The fire alarm was placed where it wasnt supposed to be before we lived here and it goes off every single day because it was placed improperly. Im wondering if our hearing will be affected by it as it hurts my ears terribly every day.

If it is placed right up against your ears, but otherwise, no, ear and head pain from loud noise is normal. Get the issue worked out one way or another (destroy it).

Wheelock fire alarm test

Posted by admin on May 28th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | No Comments »

Testing my Wheelock 34T-24+WS-24 fire alarm horn/strobe using 2 12 volt lead acid batteries. This horn looks exactly like the 7002T series but the horn and strobe are wired separately giving the horn an uninterrupted sound instead of the infamous skipping the 7002T is known for. NOTE: these are audio and visual devices using flashing strobes. Even though the camera didn’t pick up the strobe flashing very well if you have light sensitive Epilepsy, or if you have any ill effect from viewing flashing strobes please don’t watch this video. I will not be responsible for any ill effects you may experience. with that said enjoy.
