    Do they expect people on the 28th floor of the skyscraper to walk all the way down, and leave the building? It would take too long, and the stairways would be congested.

      thats not how high rise evacuation works. Not sure exactly how, but i think its like the floor below the fire, and the 2 above it gets evacuated to the floor below/above. All other occupants can remain in place.

    The slow whoop sound that the voice evac makes almost reminds of what it sounds like when my cousin tries to play her violin if that was the fire alarm noise here you wouldn't have to ask me to get out I'm be out ASAP lol. As for the elevator yeah I'm surprised it wasn't recalled you would think in a building like that the elevators would be programmed to go to the first floor and stay there until they got both it and the fire alarms reset.

    The voice actor in this video sounds very similar to "Vernon" from "Airplane!", as well as the male voice actor in "Fire alarm in Steelcase Pyramid" (who is also supposedly "Vernon"). Can anyone confirm if this is indeed the very same voice actor?

    • @mekaHX
      @mekaHX 2 роки тому +1

      I might not be able to confirm it but I feel like its a good possibility. The only panels that generated this voice I'm guessing would've been from either a Honeywell W940, FS90 or an FCI FireVac III. It's possibly Honeywell due to the fact the tone generator was manufactured by them and steelcase had a old Honeywell system at one point. There was another panel Honeywell manufactured it seems however the model of it is unknown and I've only seen a very small handful of advertisements showing it. the strobes used in this video kinda root me twords FCI though because that single gang faraday type strobe was rebranded by FCI at some point. That commander 3 type horn strobe in the background I don't know but there's a old wheelock frosted strobe unit and those were to my knowledge anyway branded by Honeywell. However If this really is Vernon could he have done voice acting for one of the two companies at one point, same with his wife?
