My dad is a firefighter and he said his former captain was working on 9/11 and when he got to the mountain of rubble, he looked into the dark abyss and heard tons of those alarms, but no movement nor voice. To this day, anyone who accidentally sets off their PASS device will trigger him badly
Dead or injured no it just means they aren’t responding so it goes off if no motion is detected both that and or they are just standing around with air packs on getting briefed or something
@FairyGardens TV yeah that's where the "firefighter twerk" comes from. You get used to kinda rolling you shoulders forward and popping your ass out every 20ish seconds to keep the thing from going off. Play this sound near a group of firemen and I guarantee well over half will do exactly that out of instinct haha they're annoying as hell until you need'em
I’ve always wondered what those beeps were whenever I watched videos from 9/11. I honestly thought it was fire alarms that were from the buildings. To find out they were actually to signify that a firefighter is dead, and to hear so many of those in sequence just sends chills down my spine.
@@lamsrojo The device is programmed to chirp when a firefighter hasn't moved for 20-30 seconds. If we get caught under falling debris, fall through a floor/roof/ceiling, or get into a mayday situation and are incapacitated, the chirp allows other firefighters and a Rapid Intervention Team to locate the downed fireman and attempt a rescue.
when i watched alot of 911 videos of when both towers fell all you heard was this and 343+ other alarms all in sequence. it was pretty weird. now whenever i hear this i get shivers down my spine.
I was a 24 year old volunteer firefighter in Pittsburgh then. I can always hear my PASS alarm. To your point, @thecarguy9195, all of those alarms in sequence still haunts me. Even now, working in an entirely different field, I'm still not able to speak of that day without crying. I am one of the few who knows precisely what that incessant "chirping" really meant. It just didn't stop. It all still rings in my ears. 😥
that sound is burned into my brain and when ever i hear it all i think is 9/11 with all the debree and thinking that that sound is fire fighters down and not moving and i can still remeber everything from that day.
Kudos for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you considered - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for firefighter interview tips without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy after many years got astronomical success with it.
I remember being 3 on 9/11 and seeing and hearing that sound in the news footage of firefighters o2 alarms going off, everytime I hear it, I start crying.
Just imagine being in ground zero amidst a whole 16 acres of dusty hellscape with low visibility, in which you can just see the silhouettes of twisted hulking ruin, and you hear HUNDREDS of this alarm all around you, some near, some far, coming from all directions. And you know that with each one lies a dead fireman.
This sound hurts my heart,I’m in firefighting training and everytime it comes on it just makes me feel all sad because of how many times I’ve heard it when fire fighters pass
There's something poetic about how we've managed to make such a fantastic rescue device. Just think about how many firefighters were saved by it. Reminds me of a video of a jet fighter that was in a direct nosedive and the pilot was KO, the plane rectified itself to avoid a crash against the ground.
our department has MSA airpacks and all their pass devices SUCK, You can be pulling a ceiling, venting a roof and they still go off, Nothing worse than 3or4 packs sounding off at same time for no reason. Drives me crazy
@PTVFCJunior your definition is wrong, pass alarm is an alarm to tell if a firefighter is down.. otherwise your definition of a pass alarm will be in the outside or if your okay.

Such an annoying and ear piercing sound but I know it means well and is helpful. Kind of sucks you have to move the SCBA pack around every 30 seconds to avoid setting that off. My Chief would bury me within 5 seconds of that thing at full chirp.
I remember trying to go inside the etc but the observation was not open but then the whole building shook knocking us down couple minutes later before south tower plane we saw a lady badly burnt but i still pray for her and all those today the jumpers were just so heartbreaking even though i don’t know them I still have empathy something i think about every now and then but its America now that will never be forgotten or the same sept 11 2001 💐🌹🇺🇸
i seen a joke on facebook. somthing about firefighter twerk = the dance the fireman uses to keep his scba pass alarm from going off... can spmbody explain this to me? why it goes off when you stand still?
I do ride alongs with a local fire department in my hometown and from what I've heard the same thing the other guy said before me. It's a motion detection thing I believe, so if you stand for a period of time it sounds the alarm. But if you're moving around and the alarm detects motion, it won't sound. I've also seen that joke around and it actually is true. But it's main use is to sound an alarm in case of a firefighter down.
PASS devices will automatically activate if the device does not detect motion for a certain short period of time, typically 15-30 seconds, so that the alert will sound if the firefighter is seriously injured or otherwise incapacitated. Some devices use a ball bearing on a track to sense firefighter movement and others use an infrared beam against a mirror mounted on a spring. When activating for a lack of motion, the PASS device will typically emit a few seconds of a muted warning that activation is about to occur, so that a firefighter who has simply been motionless for a time but is otherwise safe will be able to move slightly and thus reset the activation timer before a false activation occurs. The PASS device can also be activated manually in an emergency, such as when a firefighter is lost or trapped.
@@Tommy-dk1xk No, it says right in the title: Scott Safety (sadly they no longer sound like this since the NFPA mandated that all PASS alarms regardless of brand sound the same, which is just stupid & unnecessary to me, especially since now you won't be able to tell the brand of a PASS alarm just by the sound).
Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. The PASS alarm (Personal Alert Safety System) is designed for firefighters as an alert system for their fellow squad members. In the event you are knocked out, (or unable to move) that alarm activates to signal to others that you need help.
not really i thhink its easier insted of takeing the strp off screwing the hose off uncliping it then then pulling it out i think its easier to just un strap pull the pins then slid the bottle up

@@QuentinStanford holy shit it must have been awful
He better stay away for fire drills then
:(
Reminds me of Ricky Bobby whenever he gets into a car
this was the sound that was heard on 9/11 after those building fell and around ground zero...a sound that represents dead or injured firefighter.
I wanted to compare this sound with those to be sure. I just cannot imagine...
Dead or injured no it just means they aren’t responding so it goes off if no motion is detected both that and or they are just standing around with air packs on getting briefed or something

This sound is horrifying. The sound that everyone heard on 9/11. Rest easy, everyone.
the sound a firefighter never wants to hear
I love the sound of the pass. But how would I copy the sounds from the video like you suggested?
For some weird reason this calms me
my buddies dept use survive air aka surprise air we use scott i love scott his dept are now feelin the affects of not using a great scba company
@kameronbc21 Yea in Chicago we used to have Scott but after 9/11 we switched to the Msa firehawk the msa is indeed better.
Hello ;) what do I have to buy just to get the sound and siren? What pass alarm?
Thanks ;)
my dads friend was searching through the rubble, he heard 100s of those alarms and he knew what they were, he is still haunted by sept.11.2001
Are Scott click in or do you have to screw the tank in? We use Drager at my FD and they are good but they take time screwing in and off.
i like the msa air packs for some reason
@dillybar1997 yes thank you lol, so many guys here have told me about it.

Wait I heard this in teardown

what is the deference between the scott 2.2 scba and the 4.5 scba
2.2-2200psi 4.5-4500psi
Low Pressure vs High pressure psi being utilized. 4.5's are newer.

The pass alarm is to help as if a firefighter was trapped or unconscious. If they were the RIT team would go in and rescue the downed FF.

It doesn't sense your movement, and "assumes" you're down or in danger. Shaking registers movement and shuts the pass alarm off.
WHO WEARS FLIP FLOPS IN A FIREHOUSE??!!?!

W-what? That's not the point here. It's literally the standard sound for a PASS alarm.

I don’t know why some FDNY members have this as their ringtone. It’s not a sound that you want to hear. Small brains, I guess.
Geez, especially them. Why would you want a ringtone that makes the same sound your 343 dead brothers made?
i work for more then 1 dept, and 1 use scott the other use msa. they both or good but i like scott better. msa mask not as good as scott
Jesus saves

Hope to never hear that many alarms ever again.
