Old School Fire Alarms is dedicated to the history, collection, and preservation of older fire alarm systems and the components thereof. Specifically, manual pull rod systems manufactured during the late 1800's up through the 1970's where manual trip bells were used. Before electric, automated fire alarm systems were invented, pull rod fire alarms were commonly used in schools and other public buildings where an audible sound was needed to signal for a fire or conduct a fire drill. As time marched on, fire code regulations required pull rod systems to be automated with electric fire alarm hardware, where control panels and other electrical components took over once the pull rod was activated. In the event of an electrical outage, the pull rod fire alarm could still be utilized by simply pulling the rod multiple times to ring the manual trip bells.

There's an old school building in Keego Harbor, Michigan that residents are fighting to keep standing. I think if they win the school gets repurposed into apartments
I just really love the beats that this system does for its March time. Especially I’ve seen videos of other standard electric time systems doing this type of March time and also another collector made his coder do this exact March time too.
Hey dude, I've enjoyed your videos and how well you document these vintage fire alarm systems. I've noticed you haven't uploaded in a while, are you doing alright?
Hello, and thank you for asking. I am fine but have been terribly busy filming and documenting other schools and fire alarm systems. New videos are coming. Hopefully I will have some to post before the end of this year, so stay tuned.
These old systems are very cool and last forever, but it is so extremely irresponsible for one to still be in use in the 21st century. Not ADA compliant, no fire department dialing, and no automatic detection.
The older systems can very easily be upgraded to be ADA compliant and most of these older systems are and can be tied into security companies and fire departments, I just don't show that in my videos. These older systems are 100 times more dependable then the absolute cheap digital crap that is manufactured today.
