I know you’re a busy guy. Did you have any fire or any other kind of safety drills for December or January? Not sure what the weather’s like where you live, but in Maryland it’s supposed to be close to 70 degrees tomorrow. My cousin and I are actually conducting drills for some college dorms on Monday night, and he’s the fire marshal there. I’m pretty sure they may not let me record it though. I’m happy you get to record and upload things you enjoy. Take care. 😊
In December and January, we had “Hold drills” where it acts like a mini lockdown; no one is allowed outside the classroom, but you don’t do the barricading stuff. But if y’all want to see me record a tornado drill, I guess I could do that, but I’m not sure how entertaining that would be. I know during the tornado warning back in February of 2023, I did leave my phone recording in the classroom for the siren stuff and what not
Speaker coverage is very ineffective unless it just comes off that way on camera. They’ve got 2 speakers in a classroom and the message following the whoop is barely audible. They ought to get a real simplex technician in there and fix that crap
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I would think the fire code would dictate how loud the alarms need to be. I’m not sure about this jurisdiction, but most alarms have to be 15 decibels above average sound levels. That being said, voice evac is also required in places of assembly. That probably explains why there’s both horns and speakers. I would think that if the alarm is loud enough to be heard and the strobes are flashing, I would think the system is up to code. Since a school could be a place of assembly, replacing the voice with a Code 3 tone only may not be code compliant, so to speak. I don’t seem too worried about it if I were you. Regardless, if it gets the job done of warning people to evacuate, that’s the most important thing.
@@MrTylerNicole1 Everything in the speaker/horn system was code 3 originally for a couple decades (aka since it replaced an older system), so I’m not too sure why it was changed to what it is today. In my opinion, there was nothing wrong with the system except for strobe sync issues. If something should of been checked out/changed, it should of been the strobes only and left the sound alone
lights, sirens & horns
I saw a strobe flashing when you were just exiting the school in the video, was that a speaker strobe because those are usually very loud
interesting post fire drill footage!
speaker strobes are much better on the ears than horns are.
Can hear school bell ringing at beginning of video

@@SportyTrainGuy Ok. That makes sense.
Hey there. Any updates on February drills? I know you’re quite busy but was just curious.
Okay golf king

We need it back to code 3 as it was more noticeable in classrooms and hallways

@@SportyTrainGuy That makes sense.
Where is that school? Just curious
Yoooo
Is that tone before the whoop new?
What tone?
@@SportyTrainGuy before the fire alarm sounded, there was some kind of tone played, as if it came from the intercom…
Isn’t too cold for a fire drill
This was back in November
