I have fire alarms Your videos are cool

[@FjdnfjcjdDndnnd]

What floor are you on?

[@GaryBeltz]

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

[@roycenimchuk8425]

My school in Vancouver does not use that pattern it’s just constant there’s no stops in the pattern and it was put in in 2008

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

[@NJMoo3652]

Ah, Canada loves their bells

[@plaguesnation9921]

NJMoo3652 If there are only bells and no strobes, what will deaf people do? Strobes are meant to alert deaf people that the alarms are going off, and if there are no strobes, how will deaf people react? I suppose friends or other people could wake them up, but still... you get my point.

[@NJMoo3652]

But in many cases there are only bells. I'm not quite sure if Canada has ADA or in this case CDA requirements otherwise the bells would be mounted on strobe plates

[@SamMcWhannel]

+NJMoo3652 Newer buildings do have strobes. The old buildings are grandfathered and are not required to retrofit the strobes. Similar to when Canada moved to the international "running man" exit signs, existing buildings do not have to be updated.

[@KipDroRdy]

Every time when we wake up daily the alarms go off because of the smoke from cooking breakfast bruh well sometimes in the hotel
