Fire alarm going off at an abandoned building 7/25/17 & 7/26/17 Creepy and Spooky 

true

Yeah, that is quite possible.

True, fire alarm can go off if there's too much dust in the smoke detector. That's why the workers has to clean it out every time. Since the building was aboanded for years, the dust clouded up the smoke detector.

It's a pull station problem

MinerGamer one in only . Dust can’t trigger a fire alarm. They have to clean it out every time because the dust stops the smoke detector from detecting smoke. Smoke detectors use a radioactive material called americium. The americium disc completes the circuit when it comes in contact with smoke.

God that's a extremely long time

Even if there was no power to the building fire alarm systems have battery back up in case of a power loss

@@nics-systems-electric not likely the cause here, going off for 24 hours straight on a 10 year old battery is pretty much impossible.

I didn’t know it’s been going that long if so definitely not 😂

Industrial buildings usually have the power left on

SomeRandomGuyWithAChannelOnRU-vid3 no they don’t. That’s a fire hazard

Maybe

American 015 possibly

Most likely but would the annunciator still work after 10 years

@@theonewhoisfelonious8211 You mean panel?

@@DanTDMJace ye

Wow

No, dust likely set it off

@@Ronin.Samurai Doesn't sound realistic for dust to set off a system

@@sethhorst6158 the dust could've got in one of the smoke detectors

@@Kirby7601 Smoke detectors only goes off from smoke or vapors that interfere with it. A malfunction in the electrical boards of the alarm panel seems more likely.

@@sethhorst6158 it’s completely realistic. Dust sets off smoke/fire alarms all the time. Anything that blocks the sensors will set off the alarm. This is common sense.

Well, it’s a fire alarm. Likely dust got in a smoke detector and the panel is running off batteries.

No

@@killerkilleryt8129 how do you know?

VstaarProduction 15 I figured that out because they would've shut it off on day 1

wow that is so creppy and spooky

i am surprised no one chucked a large rock at it to shut it up the police should've try that

Tero Nummenpää No, but the alarm going off is probable cause for them to shatter the window and go in to shut it off if the owner can't let them in.

Christopher Gilliam I'm a real estate professional, and I assure you someone owns it, just like someone owns all of the vacant land in this country. If no one is paying taxes on it, then the government has seized it.

She’s not faded, just dirty. She needs to be opened up, have her plastics soaked in soapy hot water for a little while, to loosen the elements coating it, to be cleaned off, have her circuit boards re-worked, and have her electrolytic capacitors & corroded resistors replaced. To clean the remaining nastiness on the plastic, a pencil eraser, or a hand eraser does the job. A fire alarm installer at a school that I worked at, gave me 6 of these System Sensor Multi-Alert horns, as he was yanking them all out for a whole new fire alarm system. Out of the 6 horns that he gave me, one was the faded outdoor ugly-duckling horn, that I reworked, and cleaned up to her original red. Now, she looks, sings, and sparkles, just like all of her other red twin sisters mounted in my man-cave’s garage/shop’s walls. Yes; I did install a fire alarm system myself, just for the fun, and thrills of my weirdness.

How Is That Thing Going Off And It's Still So Loud After Ten Years

Professor Fire Safety Well, that is incorrect. The pull station is a Notifier NBG-10 and the alarm is probably a Wheelock EH-EL1 with a WS-24 strobe, and the panel is an old ESL 1500 series. If you listen closely, you might faintly hear the EH-EH1

@@CoolSimasGuy You can tell the alarm inside is another Non-ADA MASS-24-LSM

I doubt that was the reason, since the recession officially started in December of 2007 and this location was already closed by June of 2007.

@@elchavodel8556 yeah i forgot about that…

Video link please.

Don't have a video of it. This is Time Lapse Channel but using a new account my old one is now inactive

valen let's do it Actually it’s a Wheelock EH-EL1-WS-24 because it has an older strobe. Since it’s an old alarm, the strobe is very dim. If you didn’t know, notification appliances can tend to be worn out where the horn doesn’t sound but the strobe stays flashing or the whole alarm dies completely. For the EST Genesis, the design is way different than the Wheelock inside and has a brighter strobe

It sounds like one

Frank Dougherty It is a Wheelock EHS-EL1 when I looked inside last.

That's not a mod that's from the alarm being exposed to the sun

@@thomaswilkins8168It was a joke

Widididididididididididididi Kekekekekikikikik Yeah lol. Still does its job, kinda

Probably not. Then the fire department should've shut it off then. The fire department is not far at all from the abandoned store. Perhaps, it's pretty close, but they probably didn't do anything about it since it's been abandoned for at least 10 years

Fire alarms have a battery backup incase the building loses power.

cactus ikr😂

Wrong. It’s a Wheelock EHS EL1

he did

What about the one on the inside?

I was thinking the same thing

I did :)

@@CoolSimasGuy yay

It was likely dust

Yeah that's true but just because it's empty and abandoned doesn't mean that people don't go inside it. But you're still right: it _could_ just be a smoke detector.

Nathan Adam Its also worth pointing out is that there is a ADT sticker on the door.

Just basically keep the alarm activated for a very long time, and apparently the panel will die

The panel won't die unless power is cut. If not, then it won't. Backup batteries DO drain, however if it kept going off like it is it's obviously on AC power. It might break at some point, but I doubt it.

firefreak57 Yeah, as firefreak57 was saying, unless a given control panel is on battery backup, it cannot "drain" or "die." However the notification appliances can. Your average notification appliance by code must be able to sound for 24 hours straight. And after that they may fail. And by the age of the system, anything can happen.

Thanks for the explanation! You two know more than I do when it comes to fire alarms. I thought all of panels run on batteries where it dies within weeks and they need to be replaced them. The alarm has only gone off for the couple days, and the fire department must've took care of it later on day two. The dialer was disconnected because the fire department would've came and take care of the alarm the first it went off

It's a possibility that there is power to that building but I doubt that but for what ever reason that the alarm system went off from I don't know it possible that it could have been actived on purpose because it was a prank for there might have been something inside that was burning but wasn't visible for you to see

Probably not, but fire alarms have a battery backup system in case the building loses power.

Lady Wither Girl hi remember me

boss optimusprime2979 Yes There is. That’s what fire alarms are run by.

@@CoolSimasGuy but did somebody go shut it off after the video

You cant the power is disabled

@@awsmegmr222 Oh

@Michael Adams Oh ok

It's not that, but it would count as trespassing when entering a abandoned building.

And a federal crime to tamper with life safety devices (which would be doing just that)

Frank Dougherty The Bg-10 wasn't pulled when I looked inside

CoolSimasGuy no but they tend to be fragile and can alarm at the slightest disturbance sometimes

Frank Dougherty I didnt see any detectors from i can remember

Frank Dougherty Referring back to this video, there were actually a couple detectors last time I checked the store. So it could be possible that the detectors set it off or wires tripping.

@@CoolSimasGuy One way to tell if it were one of the detectors was to see if any of them had their lights on, usually the detector that tripped the fire system will have red lights lit on them. I know it's been a while but do you recall seeing a smoke detector with red lights? If so chances are, it was the cause.

But my primary school has discovery sounder beacon bases with discovery optical and discovery call point in all the classrooms not p1\2 not p2/3 with sounder beacon bases and open area sounder beacons

Hamza Hassan Yes i did
