yes, that made me laugh tho.. WE ARE GOING TO DIE!

Xd

Good morning @@NACAFireAndSecurity

Oh wow, yeah I was the cause if it's the school in Bideford haha

Yeah, I recognised the building as you walked past my tutor and the corridors

Ah nice one, was it cold outside 😂😂😂

Yeah! 😂😂

Ahahahahahah unluckyyyy 😂

Me to my school had gent bells that were very loud but now I have sounders!

I'm A Person and it was cold outside

Yeah, config issue on the panels didn’t send any notification to them

Douh... 🙄 Many thanks; I had wondered.

@@SouthLightFX No worries, is fixed now I think

r/madlads

That's what they configured it as, so the site team can investigate before we evac the whole site

Do some of the call points activate the alarms straight away (The ones near the kitchens/science room?)

@@propolloxpearl95algo-gent82 Plant room MCPs are instant

Then if there was a real fire and someone activates a call point with a 3 minute delay would that be dangerous?

Nah, as they can push another if it's real and it should full alarm

oh?

....amazing Bam finished your sentence

I knew the site team really well, and with the fact I was year 11 they allowed me to help as they knew I know what I am doing ahaha

@@NACAFireAndSecurity ohhh ok ahah

the evacuation button isn't the best way to do an evacuation test but i guess it works, should've activated an MCP to simulate a fire event

I wish I could do that. I'm in my last year of high school. Did you ask the care taker or something? How did you get permission ?

@@imreszappanos690 i honestly can’t remember XD

Senior Leadership instructs site on when, the site team is who conducts drills. A lot of awaiting for date and times to do it goes on, before it happens

NACA Fire And Security ohh cool

@@NACAFireAndSecurity Good morning

It has a delay.

What for? Here in the US there is a 30 second max delay that’s tolerated. The person activating the alarm might not realize that it had a delay and keep going to other call points. Also if there is a real fire that’s not good because you only have about two minutes to escape.

@@dale4231 During that time, certain people go look round the activated Fire alarm's area. If they get another alarm in it will start the notification devices. If they find fire, heat or smoke they will then trigger another call point or run to a panel and press Evac. Either way the reason they have a timer on the sounders is to allow an investigation which would save a full evacuation.

I agree with you there Stables_X... Upon activation of a second device; the delay is immediately by-pass and the alarms sound. This delay (also known as pre-alarm) stage is used to allow time to investigate the nature of an alarm, without causing a needless evacuation in the event of a false alarm. In some places; this pre-alarm stage might be accompanied by an intermittent tone/alarm and/or fire alert message (if using voice evac)... a noticeable example of this is the fire alarm within Sainsburys (One of many UK supermarkets).
