Wow, being a kid obsessed with alarms, I can't believe it's 2017 and this video was uploaded a decade ago. Plus with the video being filmed in 2004, it's crazy how time just fliessss
Wow… that’s beyond totally crazy. Can’t believe this was in 2007 and I first watched this around 2012 when I was still in college. Was just 21 and now I’m (sadly) now 32. I miss even those days, ‘cause it’s neck so long ago, feels like that’s my childhood. Now I’m doin’ this incredible marketing thing for #Agent, #Everywhere and #MindsEye for a company called Rockstar Games and their former Scottish colleague Leslie Benzies in Leith, Scotland. It’s like the honor and privilege of my life and this amazing journey that started on 2 April, 2018. This was indeed the first video I watched to start better understandin’ fire alarm systems, differences between addressable/non-addressable systems, NACs (Notification Appliance Circuits), walk tests, troubles, all the fire alarm history… just everything. Inspired me to start collectin’ for a short time, years before my dad passed from a heart attack in 2019 (absolute nightmare come true). And as I’m what I like to call Founder & CEO of something totally based around inspiration and ambition, XXVIII Games, next to my father, heroes and first responders, there’s nothin’ I respect more than ambition and the capacity at such a young age to jump start you and your brand and your legacy. So many people have jumped right in at like at 12, 13, 14 years old here on RUclips and started workin’ with alarms, wirin’ ‘em up and maintained a keen awareness when doing it and passing out knowledge to those who are lookin’ to do it. Then years later, they wind up in the industry as fire techs working for Simplex and are lead into a successful career. Just amazing where life can take you. There’s nothin’ greater than doin’ an above and beyond and taking the knowledge you’ve learned and giving that to someone else. ‘Cause that’s how the ‘ambition cycle’ just keeps goin’. You’ll be amazed at the part of you, you never know existed that one day, you’ll unlock. And I say that having lost one of the greatest assets ever in my life in my dad, watching my mother suffer extreme psychosis and takin’ care of my sister with like 4 conditions for almost 4 years, before she was ready to live a new life and have her special paradise in homecare. I’m happy to say I was like a first-responder to her for all those years. Actually called myself somewhere between a mother, father, warrior and vigilante. Best part is now she’s happier and my dad’s got the inner peace. The best is always yet to come and with believing power everything and anythin’s possible. Keep chasin’ your special paradise and remember… life’s not just Simplex, it’s complex. 😂 Stay safe out there. Arron, Founder & CEO, XXVIII Games
@@257channel My elementary school had an old Edwards system with Edwards 375 horn with edwards 270 spo pull stations before I moved schools. My new school had White Spectralert advance speaker strobes with BG12s. I miss those days with the old edwards horns, though. Plus, that was when I first watched this video.
The alarm sounded like that when I was in middle school. We didn't have the "all clear" bell, the principal just gave the signal. We DID have the "All clear" bell when I was in elementary school and high school. You taped the video pretty good.
Fire and Severe Weather Drills Anytime a fire alarm sounds, students are to walk quickly and without talking to the nearest outside door. Make a mental note of the fire exit plan posted in your classroom as well as the directions given by your teacher. Once outside, regroup with your class for roll call to make sure everyone made it out safely. (I got this from the school's website, the student handbook)
@vacuum321 the fire alarm going off right as school ends, or in between classes has become pretty common at our high school. It's pretty funny seeing people confused about where to go when it goes off when everyone's already on the move.
@arkema101 my elementary school i went to from 2nd-5th grade had an addition put onto it in 1992. the alarms on the old side are system sensor mass24m's and one federal signal vibratone. the new side had simplex horns attached to retrofit plates. the alarms were posted in big areas and the hallways. there were intercoms posted inside the classroom and whatever side of the building you were on, it would sound like the alarms on the side of the building you were on, and it would play this tone.
Ive been into fire alarms for a long time but i never knew it was as far back as 2004 where people were interested in them, i wonder where all the fire alarm fanatics used to hang that far back then.
The high school I will be going to has Wheelock MPS-200 pul stations with an Amseco label and 270 SPO's. All the pulls have Stopper II's over them. We also have 4903-9238 horn/strobes in the hallways. Most classrooms have SpectrAlert Advance SW strobes but a few broken ones got replaced by EST Genesis red strobes. I also forgot to mention the FCI MS-6 pulls in the gym, which are all paired with Wheelock NS horn/strobes. On the brand new wing of the school, there are SpectrAlert Advance P2R horn/strobes with Notifier NBG-12LX's.
I've heard a spectralert classic and a wheelock AS go off, but never together in person. I was so close to hearing them at the same time, until my job did a mini system upgrade where the only spectralert classic in the building got replaced with an L series. However, my job has both Spectralert Advances, and Wheelock AS's and they are loud together. They even have hornstrobes in the bathroom, so there is no escape when we have false alarms.
my school used that all clear bell for some sort of signal. there were alot of signals no one understood that came over the PA. the bell was a 500 Hz 6 second tone.
we had one of these today. too bad i was in coach Borrel's 6th period and half of the time that could be spent playing knock-out (a baskeball game) was gone :(
I wish my high school had a real fire drill alarm... The only time I would see the strobes and REAL Sirens is if there's a smoke, or someone pulls the alarm. For fire drills it has a beep, from the school bell that rings for next class... The tornado drill sounds a little cooler though. Has like one low beep, and another beep that will go up and down.
The all clear bell is our tornado warning. I go to Beaver Point High in Colorado. (BPHS) Our fire alarms are Gentex Commander 3's in Mechanical Code 3.
haha same exact fire alarms at my old middle school but i like the old ones better :9 they changed it out in middle of the year and everyone was like wtf? Now we got the same bell for passing and fire misses the days of the ringing bells Lol
The school I attended the following year rang a piercing tone. Think of when the bleep out a curse word on TV... Drag that bleep out to 10 seconds and you have our bell!
one time when i was in esd (an after school daycare), we were eating snack until the fire alarm gone off. it only lasted a few minutes. so it was a false alarm.
@LilZoeM Or not. I remember one when I was in high school, our instructor just kept working at his desk. We all kind of looked at him, he just kept reading like nothing was going on. Nearly a full minute passed, and one of us finally asked "Uh....shouldn't we...you know, get out?" He took his time looking up, and putting away his papers. "Ah. Guess we should, shouldn't we?" Turns out, some contractors had set the roof on fire.
Yeah that is what they have but why is the whole school AS horn strobes on the inside and that one outside is the classic? I know Wheelock makes weatherproof versions of its devices unless that was not the case in 2004.
by the way my apt has these fire alarms you know the Beep beep beep sound, not the typical rrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnggggggghhhhhh sound we heard in the 70's 80's
Looks like the Wheelock AS at 1:18 happens to be an AS-24-1575W-FR as I didn't see a candela selector and i saw the rating "15/75" to the right side in the strobe.
@@TheCarson116 I'm pretty sure it was just the Heartline 1, Heartline 2, Heartline 3, and Heartline 4 samples repeated in that order. They actually still sell the sample pack. www.ejayshop.com/product/ejay-rave-sound-library/ These sounds are in there under the SPECIAL folder.
@@257channel I THINK I already succeeded in making a version that sounds PRETTY close some months ago, but thanks. I'd probably share my attempt with you but I wouldn't know how except maybe via Google Drive. Those parts are already part of the "default mix" of the song, I just had to add a couple others: "Kick A Off 1" & "Suck Bass". (I could clearly hear those sounds in this video, but I'm not sure if there are any others that are inaudible) Funnily you should reply when you did: just some hours earlier I came back to this video (for a reason I can't quite remember). By the way, from what the video says there were previous versions of it that apparently had different music, do you remember any of those supposed previous versions?

1:00 love the sound of that all clear tone. Would make a perfect fallout detector for a public fallout shelter.
the intro and showcasing of signs and sirens gives my chills...
The Bogen Muitcom 2000 tone 6 bell is one of my favorite's
I used to watch this at school as a kid on the computers during my free time lol. It was the beginning of my Fire Alarm Enthusiasm.
That's awesome. New age server alarm was my channel of choice back in the day.

Mr. Caflish is an awesome teacher. I had him in 2003.
Who's watching 20 years later?
It's just a moth. I looked at the full quality version frame by frame on my computer. You can see it flying right before the strobe flashes.
That all clear bell sounds like it could be a fire alarm.
That all clear bell sounds like the intercom tone that is tied to the panel and goes off when the fire alarm goes off.
my 1st fire drill video i watched on utube
YOU GO TO BRADEN RIVER????
Ive been into fire alarms for a long time but i never knew it was as far back as 2004 where people were interested in them, i wonder where all the fire alarm fanatics used to hang that far back then.

Awesome the high school I will be going to will have spectralert classics and faraday horn strobes there’s also a faraday outside.
I forgot I had this on repeat and jumped when the alarms went off.
@MircomFan I believe they were Wheelock 7002T. However this was 6 years ago, so my recollection may be fuzzy.
Those are THE SAME FIRE ALARMS AND BELL
nice bogen multicom 2000 footage shot during your fire drill video man 0:55
I've always wanted to hear a spectalert classic go off with a wheelock AS

interesting with also a classic outside i wonder if the system is replaced now an good job with the editing here very 90s!
Footage of a fire drill from Montgomery Ward Elementary. Filmed March 31, 2000
@whelenvortexr4 the video? I don't think I ever got the finished copy. I'm not sure how I got any of that footage 6 years ago today.
Cool fire alarm panel I’ve seen one of those at the YMCA what is the brand?
Thursday February 22 2007
I use to have these, except the alarm was a different model, it was a true alert…
my school used that all clear bell for some sort of signal. there were alot of signals no one understood that came over the PA. the bell was a 500 Hz 6 second tone.
MT Wheelock & Spectralert Classics
The alarms at my previous school weren't synced either!
i went to this school a long time ago :D
we had one of these today. too bad i was in coach Borrel's 6th period and half of the time that could be spent playing knock-out (a baskeball game) was gone :(

what kind of bell is that same one at my old MS
What were the pull stations? Looks like a BG-12
That was my middle school fire drill sound
a 7002 or 7002t used to be there cause I recognize the plate behind the as
This is my school lol 11 years ago i just started middle school
older panel dont newer panel may have
a opsionl fire drill activate mode and will
not send an alarm to the fire hall.
I moved to Connecticut. Now I'm at Berlin High School. (BHS)They have Wheelock MT-24 LSM's. They're set to Continuous Horn.
haha same exact fire alarms at my old middle school
but i like the old ones better :9 they changed it out in middle of the year and everyone was like wtf?
Now we got the same bell for passing and fire
misses the days of the ringing bells Lol
Hehe, that was our bell in highschool to announce class change.
It's some sort of Gamewell/FCI panel. It's in the NewAgeServerAlarm fire drill vid.
A Gamewell Zans 400 I guess
For some reason on old cameras you can only hear sound on the left speaker
thats the sound of my fire alarm at my school.
Fire Alarm Test 2004
i found out why the spectralert advances replaced the classics
The school I attended the following year rang a piercing tone. Think of when the bleep out a curse word on TV... Drag that bleep out to 10 seconds and you have our bell!
What panel is it
I sometimes get the fire drill in my school and I get scared
one time when i was in esd (an after school daycare), we were eating snack until the fire alarm gone off. it only lasted a few minutes. so it was a false alarm.
Awesome practice
Im going to tat school wish me luck :)
hopefully they will teach you how to spell "that"
just joking no offense ha ha
@@xxmarmxrswcrldxx yes... thats why they said "just joking"
I wonder where they are now
@whelenvortexr4 sorry for replying so late. But is that the fire alarm that has a bubble sticking out?
Two Words. SYNC. MODULE.
Wheel lock jentex and Spector alert classics
Nice. I wonder if the fire alarm system is still there or did it get replaced with something else
When I was there they still had the same alarms but that was 5 years ago
0:34 A"GET-OUT, GET-OUT, GET-OUT...GET-OUT, GET-OUT, GET-OUT, "

Probably the oldest recording of a fire drill to this date
It's definitely the oldest fire alarm video I ever recorded.
Nice...
we have the same fire alarms
that what i was talking about too on the panel
this is the alarm in my school and it is 2011
You probably won't remember, but what were the horns before the ASs?
an LA teacher that retired last schoolyear. and his name isnt catfish
Does anyone know what bell system that is
What panel is that?

A while ago.
Alarms inside wheelock as outside spectrealert classic
Yeah that is what they have but why is the whole school AS horn strobes on the inside and that one outside is the classic? I know Wheelock makes weatherproof versions of its devices unless that was not the case in 2004.
is the control panel a cerberus i see the embue lable on it.
That is true
I get let out early before the alarms go off!! =D
same
i still go to this school...
(btw....its Mr. Caflish
lol. i remember that alot of kids hated it too.
we have on those fire alarms at my school 0:40
by the way my apt has these fire alarms you know the Beep beep beep sound, not the typical rrrrrrrrrrrrnnnnnggggggghhhhhh sound we heard in the 70's 80's
what was that code they used
