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.

UAlbany Fire Alarm – 2/12/07 (Campus Center Extension)

admin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 05:03:20 +0000

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).

Well, after we get outside, they tell us it was NOT a drill, and they don’t know what set it off, so we had to wait for the fire department to arrive and inspect the place. After finding out there’s no fire, they silence the alarm. The system, like all the rest on the campus, is programmed for “audible silence”, so the strobes were still flashing after the alarm stopped. However, wanting to get back to their lunch (not to mention the warm building) people start to make their way back in. But, the UPD officer on the scene forces them back out. Well, as it turns out, for some reason, they couldn’t get the system to reset (it was acting funny from the start – the “Alarm Silenced” LED was on, even though it was never silenced), so they decide to let everyone back in anyway.

They fiddled with it for the next 20-25 minutes, and they even set if off again briefly (they didn’t make us evacuate, though). After finally figuring out a smoke detector was the problem (it went bad), they were finally able to get the system to reset.

A6-3 responding – Fire Alarm

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:39:09 +0000

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.

Fire Alarm at West Virginia University Dormitory

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 14:12:28 +0000

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.
