Fire Alarm at Granville Island Hotel, Vancouver BC, May 4, 2012 - 4:34 AM 

This gives me nostalgia, I remember watching this as a child..

Love the sound of bells in code 3

Bells sound so much cooler than horns IMO. Especially in Code 3.

Ah, Canada loves their bells

Have now stayed twice more since this video & got great sleeps! No more false alarms. I love this place, overlooking the water!

It all depends on the age of the building and the contractors who install and choose the fire alarm system. All Alarms installed after 95 must be programmed sound in code-3/temporal which is what this is. I think the panels that do voice evacuation may be given exceptions to this but regardless of horn/bell, chime, and so on they must sound in this same pattern

sounds like santa is coming

I like the sound of those bells. They are calming

The fire alarm sounds like the one at the mall when there was a bomb threat in 2015 and everyone had to evacuate the mall it was scary at the time for me .

Wow what an experience that must have been a bell. Those are really loud. Good way to call ya to the breakfast table lol lol lol

I prefer these bells over ear-raping new horns !

This reminds of ringing the trolley car bell that I work on!

As a little bit of a reminder, the exit signs lead you to the stairs

Many buildings have triple ringing bells, including my apartment building. I think that it is probably better to have them in enclosed hallways than klaxons, as they aren't as loud

Thats cool that the hotel uses bells

Beautiful sound fire drill 😍 0:51

My preschools alarm was like this but louder,woke me from a good nap.

I think these alarms are a Mircom Bl-10B and a Notifier/System Sensor KMS-10-24A

"Where's the stairs" Turns camera around and skips the exit sign The door that says alarm will sound doesnt sound alarm when he opens it also

My sister and I spent a week there last year. We loved the location, and we may be going back for New Years. Glad it was just a false alarm.

Merry Christmas there in Vancouver

I love the bells

This was 10 years ago today. I remember watching this in 2013

Lovely fire bell! 🛎

By just looking at the bells, I would say that they’re edwards mb10-24s.

I wish all fire alarms sounded like that

Usually the stairs can be found by following the 'Exit' signs.

"I'm gonna go outside and see what's going on." Um, an evacuation alarm? :-P

Canada has mostly bells for fire alarms. Waking up to them would scare the crap out of me.

i remember watching this back in 2015 man time goes by fast..

It's a small world we live in, eh? I just found out you're related to mark Freeman. I'm a huge fan of them and I watch your videos too.

The bells sounds like Christmas!!🎄🎁🎅🏻👼🏼

When I watched this video for the first time, that was the first time I hearded bells doing code 3, that was about 6 years ago.

I've once been rudely awakened by a fire alarm at 4:07am at coylumbridge hotel, Scotland

Code 3 alarms usually mean a test. Continuous means a fire on the floor or in the area.

Wow I remember this sound I heard when the mall in my town had a bomb threat in 2015 and to this day I don’t go outside I have anixiety disorder

Caramba! I hate fire alarms that set off so stinking early in the morning! I had that happened at 3 IN THE MORNING!! I lost three hours of sleep because I was traumatized by the noise! I’m paranoid whenever I hear school bells and/or high pitched beeping because of what happened recently!

This is what my fire alarm sounds like at school.

I'm starting to think most of the time it's a false alarm because the same thing happened to me at 3:00 am and the funny thing is that it's always in middle of the night it's like WAKE UP THERE IS A FIRE YOUR GONNA DIE then it's ok I'd oh just kidding you can go back to bed now then you stay up for the next hour wondering what the neck just happened

Tech: Is my phone ringing? *Tech tries to answer his phone.* Tech: Hello? *Tech then hangs up.* Tech: Then what is that sound? I'd better investigate. Tech: THE FIRE ALARMS? I'm gonna contact Thunderbeam in the morning. *Next morning, Tech contacts Thunderbeam* Thunderbeam: Hello? Tech: At around 5 in the morning, we had a fire alarm with those stupid MB-G12-24s Thunderbeam: OK, I'll be there soon. *15 minutes later, Thunderbeam arrives with a Simplex 4007ES voice evac panel.* Tech: Thanks for installing better fire alarms. Thunderbeam: You're welcome!

I notice that every fire alarm in Canada has the sound of a bell instead of an annoying horn.

Sounds EXACTLY like my school's fire alarm.

I saw Edwards bells on a cathedral in NY but no strobes.

The bells sounds nice

The bells are in Code 3.

I have heard piercing alarm sounds before. You are lucky to keep your hearing if you hear those in close quarters

Interesting alarm.

Hopefully they gave you some kind of discount for the inconvience. At least no one got hurt though which is what is most important.

how long did the alarm go off for did they rest the alarm

man that bell is loud! So that woke you up!

I live in Vancouver and I see lots of bells I agree there is not many strobes

Sounds musical

I got woken up by the hotel phone ringing at 8 am last week when I was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

I seen your video dude the fire bells went off that’s annoying I used to have that in my school back in the day it’s very loud

oh man that sucks! why were you in vancouver?

Bells? How quaint lol. Reminds me of the time I stayed in a hotel and they gave me a regular key.

Yeah in Canada they use bells in a lot of places still they have gone to horns and speakers in some places though. Sad part is that hotel doesn't have strobes for deaf people It looks fairly new. At least the fire alarm was programmed for code-3/temporal and it didn't give a continuous ringing.

I wish all alarms were bells: fire, tornado, air raid

ah music bells love the pitch of them

This is kinda nostalgic

airwolf28 Canada doesn't require strobes on most of their fire alarm bells, or horns, even though some fire alarms in Canada come with strobes.

Poor guy :( I bet that even though the fire alarm went off and he had to evacuate the building, I bet by the time he got back he didn't really want to sleep as 4:50am is almost morning

@ExoticShadow The Scout they do if they're quiet

how did they set it off dude

What brand are these bells? They don't sound too bad.

Thankfully it happened to you at 4 in the Mornington because I live in Australia and when I was on a holiday in the gold cost I was staying at a hotel and the fire alarm was a bell. And at 1 in the morning the alarm goes off and guess what it was a false alarm grrr and I was tired and I was like 9 or something at the time

this is what the fire alarm sounds like in the mall and since the bomb threat I dont ever leave my apartment to go outside I have alot of panic attacks . this fire alarm reminds me of the day of october 28 2015 thata the day of the bomb threat I can still hear this sound in my ears when I sleep .

That is the Vancouver Hotel in Grandville British Columbia

I like the long fire engine or fire truck because two people could dirve one in the front and one in the back

anyone know what bells are in this video?

The Bells are Edwards MB-10-24's set on code 3

1:42 How do you know?

If your looking for a nice hotel in Vancouver stay here:) I live far away from here but its a great hotel I want to stay here some time again.

this is my favorite alarm

Wow the alarms are BELLS?

Why the fire alarm went off

Well, There is a bit of a chi from the Fire Alarms in my City, We Have Fire Alarm Horns!

That’s what the fire alarm sounds like in my apartment building

If people are wondering why he is half awake it is because it is 4:30 in the morning he probably did not use the map beause he was half assleep

I want to go to that hotel!

If your in a building and the alarms are going of look for the exit signs. They will lead you to outside.

The bells front screw needs to be tightend down. Its a lot louder than it should be

Jeez, at *4 AM!?*

Was there on business ... am involved with a company Qu Biologics that may have found a cure for Crohn's Disease (do a RU-vid search for Tyler Wilson Crohn's) .. the good thing was that I flew home to London, ON today & got an hour or so sleep on the plane, LOL.

the same thing happened to me at a Mall in Saskatoon once it was winter I was in a Zellers sadly it is closed and not even target is at that location it was ringing all over the mall" ****.............****............. ****" and so on and so on the stars represent the rings

The same thing happened to me about 3 years ago.

Love bells in march time

Wow 1 day before my birthday

These are really nice code 3 bells

Those bells are not made for code 3. Also, No strobes in Canada?

Christmas is early

follow the evacuation route given in your bedroom. If it was a real fire,you would need to get out as quickly as possible.

They should install the flashing strobes and keep the bells

Hey guys, don't rag on Canada and Vancouver, even if most buildings don't have strobes throughout, many hotels offer a few rooms that do have them. We are a bit behind most parts of the US with retrofit requirements with older buildings, but we're getting better on fire safety all the time, especially in Vancouver. My municipality, the CIty of North Vancouver, passed a bylaw in 2011 (with a deadline of 2016) requiring all pre-1992 residential buildings with more than 6 apartments or units to upgrade to having heat detectors in all suites and storage rooms, smoke detectors in the common halls, and good fire alarm audibility (in-suite buzzers or plug-in "fire link" buzzers), as well as getting their fire alarm monitored by an alarm company. However, no strobes are required, except in some cases where residents have a disability such as deafness or a hearing impairment. Source: I'm an apprentice electrician.

Theres a fire truck coming to the fire alarm they have to check if its a real alarm or a false alarm

I live in Canada 🇨🇦

It sounds like a fire alarm bells

Can those bells go outside of a building?

Attention please! This is an emergency! Please leave the building immediately by the nearest available exit Eh?!

@Jacob Cushman because the fire alarm was activateda
