Fire alarms going off at Alberta Children's Hospital in Calgary AB (READ DESCRIPTION)

[@Twentythree33]

can we do an est quickstart test

[@naiyahp]

I like this alarm it’s quieter than I thought it was going to sound. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@psirvent8]

This because they are using chimes instead of horns since it's a hospital.

[@cpj5694]

Elevator recall typically doesn't occur until the detectors in the elevator lobby or elevator shaft detect smoke, or the fire department activates it manually.

[@twentyfour44]

cpj5694 I knew about the manually turning it on. Sometimes the detectors in the elevator lobby can be a bit confusing.

[@Twentythree33]

Elevator machine room devices also activate recall, as do pit devices (if there are any).

[@matthewgregory8218]

Hospital alarm are different then most buildings

[@matthewgregory8218]

Now replaced by Spector alert advance and I believe they are all over the world

[@davidperry4013]

Matthew Gregory Probably L series speaker strobes. Canada mostly uses EST or Mircom. Mexico primarily uses Roshni Sounders.

[@davidperry4013]

Code red is the hospital term for a fire emergency. A slow whoop tone would startle patients and surgeons which will mess things up such surgical complications which is why they use a chime tone. Horn strobes are a bad idea in hospitals for the same reasons above but, worsened.

[@sfs2040]

Hahahaha my place uses Simplex Continuous Whoop. It sounds like a bloody siren and it terrifys everyone each time they test it.

[@Aviationlover53]

That’s the nicest fire alarm I have ever heard,here in Queensland and Australia in general our alarms are scary

[@sergeant655]

it sounds like a old school Edwards 8500 EVAC in first stage. The college i went to had one when i was in class there and it made the exact chime sound as this . the EST3 chime sound is different from this athough the sound could have also been loaded on to a EST3 as a custom sound as the previous system could have been a 8500 evac and they wanted to keep the same sound to avoid confusion

[@Twenty_Five55]

The original system is the current EST3 because this hospital was built in 2006

[@blueauraretriever]

wish the fire alarm sounded like this at my local hospital

[@joeycaridi3030]

The tones sound like ones from the Scotiabank Saddledome but a little lower pitched and both of these systems are EST 3's

[@jediskunk67]

It's awesome you Canadians use the same type of system us Americans use.

[@nayeonblinkissy]

In Canada, there are voice evacuations too.

[@Twentythree33]

I was there for a drill, and I got to help reset the system! It's a GIGANTIC EST3 system, with SIGA-270P Pull Stations, 202-5A-TW Strobes with LKC-1 ceiling lenses and 965-1A-8RW speakers.

[@twentyfour44]

YYC's Random Carbon-Based Life Form your lucky, even though I know lots about Fire alarms

[@twentyfour44]

YYC's Random Carbon-Based Life Form I have seen the fire panel. And when we're you there. And there are 2 or 3 panels in the fire alarm control panel room

[@Twentythree33]

I've been there many times, I heard it go off about a year ago. I occasionally have appointments there.

[@Twenty_Five55]

It's not an EST 3, but it is huge!!! I saw the panel a year ago, plus look in the stairwell. There's some EST Genesis speakers and speaker/strobes

[@Twentythree33]

It's not an EST3? I could've sworn it was. Oh well, you probably know more than me.😉

[@CJ9899]

That is the exact same fire alarm system at my Dad's hospital here in Cambridge, Ontario. It's 2 stage and has a different voice obviously, but the chime is exactly the same.

[@twentyfour44]

CJ9899 what hospital

[@CJ9899]

ELEVATORS AND TRAINS BY GAMINGADJECTIVES Cambridge Memorial Hospital

[@twentyfour44]

CJ9899 the voice is a security guard paging from the fire alarm panel

[@CJ9899]

ELEVATORS AND TRAINS BY GAMINGADJECTIVES I know, that’s how it works for us, accept its over the PA system

[@Twentythree33]

This is two-stage.

[@lorenlorenzen4626]

Those alarms sound so very cool it’s like a chime bell

[@coletonbearden4274]

I believe that all voice evac alarms are programmed by a computer and controlled by a panel, but these new fire alarms now like Simplex for example you can use your phone or computer to also control the fire alarms.

[@Daeyta]

Wow so that's why the doctors were running out of my step brothers room they kept saying "IT'S JUST A TEST PEOPLE" Lol 😂😂😂

[@twentyfour44]

Rock It Out With Desi LOL

[@Daeyta]

ELEVATORS AND TRAINS BY GAMINGADJECTIVES 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@alexandersalarms5380]

Your lying because it was not a test. It was a code red actual situation.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

lie

[@Twentythree33]

There was no fire. It was a false alarm.

[@liltmusicandtruckchannel9397]

I kinda like the sound of the alarm

[@joannestealey4482]

Me too

[@shane_gentle]

Would inspector sands please go to the CLINICAL GENETICS AREA?

[@McNeilAlarms]

elevators are usually not recalled during a fire alarm unless it is caused by a detector in one of the elevator lobby’s or in the elevator shaft or in the elevator machine room or by some manly recalling it with a key

[@twentyfour44]

Sheldon McNeil I knew about it at the time before the fire alarm went off. Apparently I wasn't thinking straight for some reason. LOL

[@firealarmfan]

Its probably a simplex bell sound in low pitch

[@thundersonic342]

My Schools System Is Made By EST.

[@lorenlorenzen4626]

That type of chime is kinda rare to be heard

[@samanthataylor8606]

Nice vid

[@Anthony_therockstar]

The alarm sounds similar a clock bell

[@lorenlorenzen4626]

They sound like a type of chime bell

[@Aaronproductions]

Fire recall only happens when a smoke detector in the elevator shaft or near the elevator activates

[@matthewgregory8218]

Aaron Productions or heat détecter is activités they are in sortent rooms

[@coshiro1]

Was the chime coming from the PA system speakers?

[@masteraustin5015]

Christian Oshiro yeah I think

[@Twenty_Five55]

No it was coming from the EST3 ceiling speakers, the one you see at 0:52 is the EST speaker. At 3:42 the one on the left was making the noise chime

[@temporalosm]

From my knowledge this is what “CODE RED: LEVEL 0: CLINICAL GENETICS” Meant when it was paging over the EST Intercom: Code red Generally means fire (from my knowledge), and Level 0 was LL (Because M is the main floor) and Clinical genetics, I’ve researches it, and it seams to mean a doctor who provides a diagnostic service for family’s who have/may be at risk of having conditions from a genetic basis. With that in mind, i think that it was saying Clinical Genetics because it was in the office/area were they do clinical genetics diagnosis’s. So with that in mind, here is what the message was saying in lamens teams: “There is a fire on Floor LL in the Clinical Genetics office/Area” Please correct/tell me more information so i can edit this comment and make it more informative. :D

[@twentyfour44]

I’ll give you that, I am not sure about the genetics because they are all over the hospital (FYI) I am not on the LL (lower Level) that much, so I don’t know he whole LL

[@temporalosm]

ELEVATORS AND TRAINS BY GAMINGADJECTIVES Oh, Ok

[@maccanning2532]

What is with Canada and there bells

[@breinmanfireandsafety1512]

This isn't a "bell", it's the EST3 and Edwards 8500 EVAC first stage alarm chime.

[@joannestealey4482]

That's a nice sound

[@candaceoldshoes]

simplex are only in the us if rare to find one in canada

[@thundersonic342]

On March 25th 2019 Is When It Happened And It Was Simplex Celling Speaker Strobes Not Edwards Fire Alarms.

[@Twentythree33]

Nope. This whole system is EST.

[@thundersonic342]

I Was Talking About A Different Building With A Simplex System Not That Building With That EST System.

[@Twentythree33]

Oh. Was it South Health Campus?

[@thundersonic342]

Yeah.

[@Twentythree33]

Ah. They have a 4100ES.

[@thundersonic342]

One Time I Was Going To The A Place Where You Can Eat And I Just Came Out A Door And Then The Fire Alarms Started Going Off And It Was The Hospital Close By The Childrens Hospital And It Was The Foothills Hospital.

[@twentyfour44]

What did it sound like?

[@Worces2000]

I know what code red means but what did they mean by level zero?

[@twentyfour44]

Lower lever Also known as basement level

[@Worces2000]

@@twentyfour44 ok that makes sense. What did he say after level 0?. Apparently in some schools these days they use code red for lockdowns. I wonder what code schools use for fire?

[@FireAlarmDude5967]

Bradford WIMN Code red is fire, and code yellow is lockdown.

[@evab100official]

Bradford WIMN The basement

[@GaryBeltz]

The children were scared of the alarm all that one did was a bell with the announcement. I can see how those kids would react if those were SpectrAlert Advances.

[@twentyfour44]

Gary Beltz specter alert advances are so LOUD I've heard them in person and they are loud. Also these were kinda loud because of ecoing through the hallway. But the sound is interesting. And I have simplex truealerts at my school and they are loud to the little kids at my school. They are loud even though I'm not scared of them LOL.
