Seattle Fire Department Engine 2 and Ladder 4 being dispatched and responding to 1000 Aurora Avenue North at 1547 on 12/26/08. Engine 2 went on 3,501 runs during 2007, making it the busiest Engine company in the department. Ladder 4 went on 2,133 runs during 2007, making it the busiest Truck company in the department. My apologies for how shaky the video is after the companies leave the station (I guess I got a little excited!). Quartered in Station 2 are Engine 2, Ladder 4, Aid 2, Aid 82, and Safety 2.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you pull the fire alarm? Here’s a perfectly LEGAL and CONTROLLED demonstration of the Notifier SFP-1024 FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) in Alarm Mode, being activated by an ADT (FireLite) BG-12 pull station.
Dave keeps the message going and Revolution worships through the fire alarm at artesia high school.
Testing my System Sensor SpectrAlert P241575 horn/strobe. The horn was set to electromechanical temporal code-3(the factory set tone). Please note: This device is an audio/visual warning devide. Even though the camera didn’t pick up every flash if you’ve ever experenced any ill effects from viewing strobes flashing please do not watch. I’m not responsible for any ill effect you experence from this video. with that said enjoy.
This is why I’m not in my hotel room
Well, what were the odds? It happened again (sort of). I was eating lunch in the food court, and then the fire alarm goes off! I scramble to get out my camera and after I turn it on, I grab my lunch and get out (forgetting my book bag was under the table – oops).
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.
Clip of a fire drill in progress. The alarm you hear is a Simplex 4100 fire alarm system; signal coding is march time.
Here’s a video of my entire fire alarm collection. Sorry about the shaky video.
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.
