MY FUCKING SCHOOL ALARM IS SO FUCKING LOUD THAT IT GIVES U A JUMPSCARE IT GOES WE OH WE OH WE OH WE OH WEOH WEOH WEOH WEOH WEOH SO FUCKING LOUD THAT ITS STUCK IN MY HEAD ALREADY FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS
And the school is, in the Chaseville/Santa Angela Public Schools District, Glendale High School! Yup! That is what I think of! Signed, Angela, who recently attended that school for 9th and 10th grades.
Those are the alarms at my imaginary friend Sally's College where she works. There has been an emergency because the boilers have overheated and are dialing the Fire Department. Then later the boiler explodes causing a fire.
My highschool has ceiling mount EST Genesis speaker strobes in all the hallways and classrooms. The only other notification devices are just a wall mounted version of the EST Genesis.
funny fact: I have the spectralert advanced in ALL of my school alarms and it can get pretty LOUD! This is my last year at this school and I am still not used to the alarm, and also I got a taste of fire alarms when this kid pulled the T-bar MANY times in Pre-K
my school has simplex true alerts and dual action t bars and wheelock outdoor alarms. the true alerts are in code 3 but the wheelocks are in contiunous which is freakin loud.
My school:There's spectralert advance p4whk horn strobes on 185 cd in one building.We also have spectralert advance SPSRHK Speaker Strobes on 150 cd in the gym building.We also have spectralert P241575 in classrooms.also have simplex 4904 retrofit strobe plates 4903-9219 horns on them in the other areas.Detectors r system sensor beam detectors in all rooms. sprinklers in all rooms.Pull stations r firelight BG-12LO with STI-13020FR with horns.All signals r behind stopper domes.Big Variety
I actually prefer speaker-strobes over horn-strobes. It's easier on my ears and actually works for other emergencies too. You can even talk over some to give more information if needed.
I have a funny story about speaker strobes: Basically, my local library has Wheelock CH Speaker Strobes and a Simplex panel. So one day I was just browsing through books, seeing if there was one I wanted to check out. It was about 5 PM on a Friday evening, and my library closed at 5:30. So then all of a sudden I hear the Simplex voice evac siren and see the Wheelock CH's flashing. I think, "Oh god is there a fire?!?" so I wait for the voice evac. The librarian comes on and says "May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please." I literally drop the book and am ready to dart out of there, while one of the other librarians look at me like I'm crazy. Then the librarian says over the voice evac "The building will be closing in 30 minutes. Please check out your book, and log off of the computers within the next 30 minutes. If you need to call for a ride home, please do so now." I let out a sigh of relief and a little laugh, because I thought I had to evacuate that instant. Anyways, I think it's a code violation to use fire alarms as PA systems, so they should stop doing that.
