The important thing with any fire alarm system in a building is to test it so often that if there ever is a REAL fire, everyone will be conditioned to ignore it and slowly burn to death.

+Adam Carter, yes they are my favorite alarms. My school has the frosted strobe version of these. They are called Wheelock MT 24 VFR. They are mostly meant for outdoor use, while the LSM is only meant for indoor because of its strobe design.

The Aparment complex I live in uses vintage Edward Fire Alarm and on continuous which can be heard allover the place even if you're not very close to the building and can be heard in the basement.

My fire alarm went off at midnight tonight. Nobody was awake now cooking. The fire alarm was like one of the ones in your house but old. Our fore alarm sounded like a car accident, a bunch of silence. The fire alarms have been going off at 12pm-3pm. It was going off for 20 minutes until we called a number. It wasn’t connected to a fire system so the fire department didn’t come. I don’t understand the point of a fire alarm if fire trucks dont come. We have around 300 apartments and they all are lined up. Were not in the upstairs but you get it. We’re moving soon

I have been able to evacuate my elementary school in 1st grade with the NS horn strobes without covering my ears. It's a little tickle and does not hurt all.

Yeah the condo buildings in my community. Since it so old and when they installed a new fire lite system a couple of years ago. And they just put system sensor horn strobes in the units. They are no horn strobes in the hallways at all not even smoke detectors in the hallways. Just two pull stations by each entrance. So the only time if he goes off if it gets sit off by a pull. Or someone smoke detectors in they units. I know it has happened if people burned they food.
