September Fire Drill at EHS 9/27/18

!!!VOLUME WARNING!!!
Update: As of 11/2/18, the TrueAlerts may not be operable due to a recent flood that damaged the area.
It was time for another monthly fire drill at the high school today. For everyone that has been asking me to film the TrueAlerts, here you go. They're set to do Code 3 and they are loud as heck (much louder than the 4903's). At one point in the video, one of the 4903's nearly maxed out the mic on my phone. Either way, it was a good drill.
*Hope you enjoyed our little commentary.*
Any questions feel free to ask.

My high school used to have wheelock ehs-dl1, spectralert advance, wheelock zns, and some bells I only saw from a distance. I was so excited for high school in middle school, but right when I got to high school, the school got renovated and changed to voice evac :(

[@FireRescue80]

Sadly from what I heard, a few of the 4903s are being replaced. However, they're being reused. When the time comes I will attempt to save at least half of the system. Preferably the mechanical horns. Speaking of bells there is a Simplex 4080 bell on campus. Not sure if it's being used.

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

@@FireRescue80 what are the alarms which are replacing them.

[@FireRescue80]

Simplex TrueAlerts. I've only seen a few pop up. However, the replacement is probably going to be speaker strobes. Don't take my words though.

[@cg7240]

@@FireRescue80 It's sad to hear that schools require voice evac now. Any new schools or school renovations require the system to have voice evac. Have you found anything else new about your high school? I would guess it got replaced with Simplex Truealert ES Addressable Voice Evac.

[@FireRescue80]

The only major change that I found was that they redid a small portion of a hallway and made it into a STEM room. The alarms in the room are now surface mounted and wire molded. They use to be flush mounted.

hows the true alert not on 120 when the coding signal is 120 bpm is there a sync module or something to do code 3

[@FireRescue80]

I had a stroke while reading your comment.

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

@@FireRescue80 lol I just wondered how they have the true alerts in code 3 and panel doing 120

[@noahkahoot3510]

We have a monthly fire drill???

[@FireRescue80]

Yes. These drills are monthly.

[@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283]

this is the strange that the 4903's are on march time while the truealerts do code 3

[@FireRescue80]

That's because the 4903's and the TrueAlerts are hooked up to 2 different annunciators. One set to March Time and another set to Code 3.

[@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283]

i can hear the 9219's from a distances in the beginning

[@FireRescue80]

You'll hear the them while we're outside. The alarms that you heard in the beginning were 9836s.

[@FireRescue80]

@@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283 Do you know what, now I do hear it . Dummy me. The alarm is located in the stairwell which is nowhere the where we started.

[@GaryBeltz]

Was the girl you were helping a new student?

[@FireRescue80]

No, she wasn't here when we did our August fire drill. So, she didn't know where to go.

[@justwhydoiexist5570]

If you think that's loud you should hear my school's fire drill its 3x louder than the ones at your school...

[@FireRescue80]

Let me guess. You have SpectrAlerts at your school.

[@restinpeacelol]

In my school it’s called a fire drill

[@FireRescue80]

Evacuation drills and fire drills are sort of like the same.

[@zachconner6792]

What’s the difference

[@cg7240]

@@zachconner6792 evacuation drills are more for general emergencies , fire drills are solely for fire.

[@FireRescue80]

Fire Evac and Fire Drills are pretty much the same thing.

[@BestSchindler]

You Could You Listen To Me Please? Stop Recording All Of The Fire Drills.

[@FireRescue80]

If you don't like me recording fire drills then don't watch my videos then.

[@jamiekahle4693]

I know that beeping all too well

[@FireRescue80]

Does the fire alarms go off a lot where you're at?

[@jamiekahle4693]

Well, I go to LMMS, so yea
Next year I’m going here

[@FireRescue80]

Cool. Might see me in the hallway next year.

[@FireRescue80]

@@jamiekahle4693 And yes. The alarms are the same at LMMS. Same coding too.

[@jamiekahle4693]

Cool

[@zachconner6792]

This drill took 17 minutes

[@FireRescue80]

How bout them TrueAlerts.

[@zachconner6792]

They sure are quite the innovation of fire notification. Also I was asking, should a fire drill take more than 10 minutes?

[@FireRescue80]

It all depends on how big the system is. They also want to make sure that everybody has evacuated. So it takes a bit of time.

[@zachconner6792]

When you said it depends on the size of the system, do they have to inspect the horn/strobes and all the system components when everyone is outside. And who stays behind during a drill

[@FireRescue80]

Yup.
