This nice video is funny because of how similar this incident is to the one time in my senior year in 2019 of high school. It was the third period, and I was in second-year Spanish class. About ten minutes or so into the class, the fire alarm went off. The whole building evacuated, and we met up with our 5th-period teachers on the field. A few minutes passed, and we got the all-clear to go back inside; so we went back to our third period and continued class as normal. The cause of the alarm was that a custodian microwaved a hamburger WITH THE TIN FOIL WRAP STILL ON IT, lol, can't make this up. BTW, my high school system is an EST3 with G1R-HDVMs(Genesis H/S, Red, No Fire-Lettering) inside, Edwards 757-8A-T Integrities outside, SIGA-PS smokes, and SIGA-278 pull stations with stoppers.
Wow weee! What a day for you! Glad it wasn't anything huge and everyone is ok. Kinda reminds me of when our fire alarm went off a few days before summer vacation last year. Though it was a false alarm in that case.
Almost had one yesterday when someone “diverted” my volleyball serve and knocked the sti stopper off entirely, the cover broke off of the sounder and the sounder didn’t even go off what a fail
A few months before I graduated from my private school, two middle schoolers burnt pop tarts in a microwave while unsupervised and caused the room to get all smoky. Luckily a door leading to the outside was conveniently located in the classroom where the pop tarts got burnt to air out the smoke. The vice principal stated how the fire alarm system did NOT activate, and it didn’t go off at all.
@Firealarmfanatic2015 I didn’t see it happen, just heard the vice principal tell my teacher about it. But the burnt smell went around the whole building
This actually happened in my school last year. It was after school during a volleyball game and some girls decided to go into the teacher’s lounge and make popcorn in the microwave. They didn’t realize that they set it for 20 minutes instead of 2. Everyone who was at the game had to evacuate and it was raining outside. 😂 It’s a Simplex 4100U voice evac system. Usually when my school has a false alarm it’s from the cooking class because some genius decided it was a good idea to not put any vents in that room and have a smoke detector right outside of it.
I have a similar story with a similar ending. So one day i decided to put something in the microwave at school,(can't remember what) but someone told me to put it in for 2 minutes because i wasn't sure how long to put it in for. I really should have been smarter because the entire thing was engulfed in flames and there was alot of smoke. Surprisingly the alarms never went off but i do believe the microwave stopped working. Im kinda glad they didn't go off just cause they were spectralert advances. I know you've said they aren't very loud. But in a large space prone to echoes and just the fact that I have sensitive ears. Yeah im glad they didn't sound. Still thought id bring that up.
Personally I think If a fire happens inside an oven or a microwave, it's better to keep'em closed and cut off the power immediately so that the fire is isolated in a small, heat-resistant, and kinda hermetically sealed place and will eventually die out. Opening the door not only would cause the smoke to escape and result in unnecessary trip of alarms but also allows oxygen to come in and boost the flames.
Reminds me of when somebody (Not naming any names lmao) burnt popcorn at my school, set off a duct detector in the teachers lounge. (Video of it is on my channel LOL)
Similar thing happened at my school. A teacher cooked a bag of popcorn and then left it unattended. Moment I step out of 5th hour, BAM! Fire Alarms go off. The teacher had to carry the microwave outside 😅
I don’t know if my school is just weird, but as soon as we know an alarm is false they just remove the detectors involved and reset the system, then call the FD so they don’t come. Usually the alarms are reset before the building is evacuated, however we still have to all arrive at our evacuation areas before the all clear. We’re usually back inside within 4 minutes of the alarm sounding.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 I mean I would, but I live in Iowa and they don’t care too much. My school is about 2700 students with all 3 buildings that make up our high school, and a singular smoke detector is easy to confirm false. Pull stations on the other hand they can’t reset the system until the fire department approves but they can silence it after the building is clear.
@@dale4231 I’m pretty sure for liability reasons only the fire department is allowed to determine whether or not an alarm can be silenced. It probably depends on the AHJ though.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 yes definitely depends on the AHJ, our fire Marshall doesn’t really care how long a fire alarm goes off for because his thinking is if it goes off, everyone should leave no matter how long it sounds. That’s why when we have drills, they will sometimes sound it for not even 15 seconds.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 EST systems can be hit or miss. On one end my old elementary school’s EST2 worked perfect (and the EST2 is considered one of Edward’s worst systems) and on the other end my middle school’s EST3 system was hot garbage until recently when a competent Edwards specialist worked on it but even now it has begun to fall apart again and give a map fault on data card 1. Luckily it seems that most issues start with the service and installs as systems properly installed and serviced work great.
Back when I was in elementary school, we had an autistic first grader pull a false fire alarm in the cafeteria and on the same week, the fire alarm went off a second time due to roof reconstruction. Also, during my freshman year of high school, we had someone who decided to burn a roll of toilet paper and it ended up setting the whole restroom on fire!
Someone tried to set my high school on fire during my senior or junior year during the short lunch we got before we went to the Vo-Tech for the second half of the school day. When I found out later that one of the students who went to V0-Tech at the same time I did was the one who started the fire, I was even more angry. That lunch was only 15-20 minutes, so I was totally screwed out of lunch that day. Had I gotten my hands on the little *(#@, I would have made them pay for my lunch for the next TWO WEEKS!. The person lit some papers and other flammable material under one of the stairwells, and even after they put it out, you could still see the damage to the floor.
I swear i Just watched a microwave fire at a school leading to the alarm system activated, not too long ago. How much pain does your school need to go through? I mean, two alarms in only a couple of days? Sheesh.
I guess that microwave will have to go to the scrap yard (I wonder if you know any scrappers in your area who take microwaves apart for the magnetrons and transformers). my former high school has microwaves in the cafeteria, but the only automatic detectors are located in all of the storage closets and mechanical rooms (it's the same high school as LeBron James) I ended up leaving that place because of asbestos exposure (during my junior year) and transferred to the same high school as Jeffrey Dahmer, which I just graduated from.
What how is this possible? Oh darn it mark collins he seriously needs help he did burned his lunch and does not know how to use microwave and most of all I had to prompt them to evacuate. That is because he has disabilities.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 he burnt his food at Person center service he still needs help which i recalled he cooked his lunch too long. however i think the microwave you used to have is done.
hey, your vids are really cool, I actually collect fire extinguishers and know a lot about them I have 18 in my collection I also have a UA-cam channel where I talk about fire extinguishers
And you just had a false alarm the other day 😂😂😂
Wow thats a cool school and the fire alarm system doing whats it’s supposed to be doing

what a dumbass!
It's funny how they now are more likely to sound like the older reverse bleepers! While the new reverse signals on trucks, sound like 4903-9219s!
4903-9219s are lower pitched than these but yes they do have a good melodic tone like the mechanical horns
I knew it was gonna happen. I wonder what caused the microwave fire
Some idiot probably, this happened 4 times at my middle school

If a microwave were to catch fire at school, I would unplug the microwave, call 911, activate the fire alarm, and get everyone out.

same alarms as wellesley high school I wonder how the code allows for the tone to not be synced with the strobes
The tone doesn’t ever need to be synced with the strobes. The audio output only needs to be synchronized with other speakers, which it is.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 does that rule apply to other kinds of nas too
