this is my first ever fire drill video at First Place The alarms used in the building are System Sensor spscwl speaker strobes with a notifier voice evac tone
History of fire alarm sounds: 20’s: mechanical bell 50’s: deep-sounding EHHHHHHHHHHHH 70’s: ERRRRRR ERRRRRRR ERRRRRR 80’s: BUZZZZZZZZZZZZ or DerNerNerNerNee 90’s: blowing whistle or lips flapping 2000’s: blowing whistle at a lower pitch 21010’s to present: “May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please? There has been a fire alarm reported in the building. There has been a fire alarm reported in the building.”
@@meikl100 Yeah, there were, but I feel like the “voice evac” systems have been more common lately. For the longest time, there were mostly fire alarms with horns or shrill whistle-sounding noises. The “voice evacuation” is not as harsh
How often did they have a drill? If they do it often, they could consider doing a few unannounced surprise drills besides the pre-announced drills. Obviously you were told ahead of time. It’s good in that if the alarm goes off unannounced you know there’s probably a true emergency. But you want to respond to the alarm no matter if it’s real or not. I believe that’s why many schools do the surprise drills. Nobody knows when the real thing will happen so you have to be ready at all times.
Timestamps 04:23 Fire Drill begins 06:36 Evacuated to the 1st meeting place 08:32 Relocating to the 2nd meeting place 09:32 Recloaated to the 2nd meeting place 10:00 Building director starts talking about the fire drill 12:10 Building director stops talking about the fire drill 16:15 All-Clear signal is given 18:43 Re-enterd the building and fire alarm system is still in alarm 19:06 Fire Alarm system is now reset 19:47 Re-enterd the apartment room
Do apartments actually do fire drills? I know student ones do at colleges but regular ones don’t. They might do a yearly test but they let residents know to ignore it. At least apartments I’ve been at and too.
@@trevormacewan this was a mandatory drill and these aren’t plain old neighborhood apartments this is a special apartment building for transition academy students

Notifier sure makes the best voice evac messages and tones

Actually, the may I have your attention please has been around since the 80's all most. Even buildings from 2010 have bells.

Matt the Bass Boy That fire alarm sound just like At My college campus dorms
They don't sound that loud.
What was worse? The whoop of the fire alarm or the gate alarm?
For him, it's the gate alarms because that's louder and high pitched but not shrill like a regular horn strobe fire alarm
The Best Voice Evacuation system
Nullifer system. Hot
Any voice evacuation system is better than horns.
By the way, are there any low-frequency sounders in the bedrooms?
@@HeadsetGuy the whole building is run by a notifier system with system sensor spscwl speaker strobes and the bedrooms even have speakers in them

Nice
Did you hide in the pantry?
Yes cause I thought it was gonna be loud
why is everyone covering their ears?
@@erikmorozov1740 the alarms are loud same with the gate alarm
it's a voice evac notifier here is 6 languages I made on simplex voice evac
btw you are lucky you didn't have some kind of mini sounder that makes some random electromechanical horn simulations.
