My friend and I are Fire Alarm Enthusiasts, and we IDOLIZE YOU! You're a celebrity among us. "Sir? Have you suffered any burns?" Hahahaha!

This reminds me of what Sophia Petrillo said in the pilot episode of the The Golden Girls: “Do you know happened? They set off the fire alarm in a retirement home. Who can rush?! Half the people have walkers. The other half can’t get out of their chairs, but they’ve got bells going off like crazy! Do you know what that does to hearts that only beat a few times a week? It’s not pretty!”

This was in my recommended in 2023 after 18 years of me forgetting about it

Have you suffered any burns? Yeah it's my ass

i love these simplex alarms!

..... Okay.... I agree. If you hear the fire alarm you are supposed to leave the building.

I love how people stay in the building when your ur supposed to exit..

That's what they are. My high school had these and they sounded exactly like the ones in this video.

Devices seen and heard: Simplex 4251-20 pull stations Simplex 2903-9001+2901-9806 horn/lights

Update the nursing home still has the 2903-9806 fire alarms

It could be a 2001 but you can do 90 BPM march time on other panels. I guess the 2001 was the one that commonly used it so people just started calling it 2001 March Time. The fire alarm enthusiasts have made their systems sound like this like NewAgeServerAlarm and it is important to note that NewAgeServerAlarm built his panel himself. The Alertek 8005/8004 are his creation.

i remember this video from like 5 years ago. glad to find it. "have you suffered any burns?" "yes to my @$$"

This is my favorite fire alarm video in the world. I wish I could hug this man and tell him how much joy this video brings me hahahaha "Have you suffered any burns?" Yeah to my ass. XD XD XD

I love the song of Old time fire alarms, with they were just a little less loud, them old Time horns are loud enough to damage your ears. Also if you could smell smoke. You should have been getting out of there

i wish we had these kinds of alarms at our school

Good ole' marchtime.

Dances trough fire alarm*

Listen closely and you can hear the clicking of the vibro-pad after each buzz .

I'm so getting one of those alarms soon.

@TssCman123 Actually for current buildings ADA laws require that strobes be used even in hospitals or nursing homes. Strobes can be adjusted for circumstances like you mentioned. They can be set as low as 15cd and they are required to be synced meaning they all go off at the same time.

@TssCman123 The reason for the electromechanical horns and the lights (which are incandescent, not fluorescent) is that this is an older system. Back then, mechanical horns were more common and strobes were not widely used.

TrueAlert horn/strobes on a panel that was set to continuous oh man that is a fate worse than death!

When i was in a rehab center after a surgery the fire alarm went off they closed all the doors called code red and we were told to stay in our rooms until the all clear was given do not come out into the halls or sitting areas

It looks like the backrooms

The alarm is definitely a 2901+2903+9806 light plate and the the panel is definitely a 2001 because of the 90bpm march time.

a senior that knows how to upload to youtube nice!

@Gb755c its a little metal plate in the alarm that makes the acual noise .

incandecent light

if that was a fire drill, they FAILED!

@clairepal Isn't that a violation of fire code to let snow block the doors?

There’s a nursing home in crossville that has those same alarms Idk If the systems still there or not

The Symplex is my favorite alarm

some-id-i-ot-pulled-me-some-idi-i-ot-pulled-me..

probably a 2001 panel, judging by the 90bpm march time. and they are definately 9806 horns. that pull station seen was probably a 4251-20.

the alarm is catchy

May you rest in peace, clairepal :(

Don't let the simplex horn strives burn up

Simplex 2001 fire alarm system most likely

On my school once the fire alarms were activated and year five was eating a cake and because there was fire of the cake they got activated.

Especially if you smell smoke, get the hell out of the building. It could be a sign of a fire.

@Kia0Rio yea sometimes whenever i overhear someone say fire drill at school i plug my ears all day XD

@lkfcobra I love those vibrating horns. It sucks the Simplex doesn't manufacture them anymore. :(

@PlausableApple4 It's not just Simplex that doesn't make them anymore none of the alarm companies do. Edwards made the Vibratone horns and I don't know what the other companies vibrating ones were called.

Am I the only one who hears the "buzz click" ?

Wii freeze🔥🗣️🔥🗣️

We're you in a motorized wheelchair. You moved smoothly and was low to the ground

It's the horn's mechanism hitting the sounder plate.

👨🏻‍🚒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

My sister's school has these alarms

Ouch. How did it happen?

I wonder if there still there

simplex on march time?

I think those are Simplex 2903s with 2901-9806 horns on 90 bpm march time

What is the "bang" or "Thump" I hear right as he is leaving his room?

@Tabby266 I don't know what I meant by that comment was that they no longer use light plates a light plate contains a regular lightbulb not even a CFL ADA requirements state that they must use strobes set at AT LEAST 15cd I don't work there nor do I work for Simplex

backrooms ahh building

haha i remember this. i used to live there! ~lisa

I wonder how long it was till they shut it off

I wonder what made them disconnect most of the horns?

They could walk if they wanted too

@raymond9987654321 Yeah that is a Simplex system on March Time. That's called 90 BPM march time. Some people mistakenly call it Simplex 2001 March Time but the correct term is 90 BPM

These Simplex Fire Alarms are in March. time. Mode

@Droideka133 What is the vibro-pad?

4002 is a panel, not a horn strobe.

What a nice Alarm Clock?

Update the nursing home in crossville still has 2903 light plates with 2901-9806s they replaced the panel cause it broke but they tested the alarms an said they have no desire to replace them

correct

Those Simplex 2903-9806s sound weird in March time. It reminds me of a beat to a hip hop or rap song for some reason.

Yeah he was if you listen closely at the beginning of the video you can hear the motors in his wheelchair/scooter as he's going to his bedroom door to go into the main area.

@Blorenz24 Yeah the FD always has to respond when those go off unless they are told ahead of time it is a drill/test. they just hadn't arrived yet. Toward the end of the video when he first says he's going to shut it off the one lady says something about filming when the FD comes later.

0:05 BEEP BEEP BEEP

Simplex 2001 system

Sounds so loud for a nursing home

Was this a Simplex 2903 9806?

Lol. I. Like it

Wow the guys are like there’s a fire🥹

how is this guy now?

I love those simplex alarms flashing lamps you don't have those flashing bright strobes

Is real smoke the alarm 2903+9833 in march time in 4005.

That is a simplex horn with a light plate

Hi i have the Same fire in my flat in Leasowe,Wirral in England as a fire Marshall as i work there it is one them ones where you pay rent at the reception and all that we have to test the fire alarm everyday but at night people randomly smash it we have fire brigade every night and i'm blowing a whistle making everyone get outside then i do the register the fire service check if no-ones in the building it is always a false alarm even though i own the all the flat as i rent every single flat

was there a fire

@Tabby266 Actually they use strobes now

2001 march time!

i knew that

@Fred2915 Didn't you read his one comment he said he couldn't get out because snowbanks were blocking the doors. He's restricted to riding around in that motorized scooters and those things haven't really been designed for all weather use. My friend takes his out in the snow but that's only cause he HAS to just to get stuff done like grocery shopping but he's already destroyed two scooters because of it and he's on his third.

2903s connected to a 2001 doing march time

@TssCman123 the Pull stations are probably high up on the wall so that the altzthimers and dimencha patients dont pull them during one of their "episodes"

The alarm is a Simplex 2901 9806

Vibratones

If you hear the alarm, malfunction or not, get the FuCK OUT OF THE BUILDING no matter how cool the alarm sounds, by the way it's in good rythem though.

1:24 oh no its not oh no no no. LOL

at 3:23 you can see the 9806 and the light flashing

wich burned food in the cafetaria?

2903 light plates are the ones I like

March time

How tall are you?

There

and yet somehow this dosent get one dislike...
