MUST WATCH: FIRE ALARMS GO OFF 🚒 WHILE FILMING AN ELEVATOR!

This was quite scary, Sorry i couldn't pull my camera out any faster. I was coming down from 26 and the Alarms go off and the elevators go into Phase I. By the time i get my camera recording I was leveling to the lobby. But watch what I do When theres a fire in the hotel

3:11 A rare occasion of seeing one of those fire exits open, which are on both sides of the revolving door. This evolution in fire safety stems from the Cocoanut Grove Fire in 1942, when people where flocking to the revolving door and getting immediately stuck with panicking, chocking and passing out people, which became a death trap killing a lot of people. (492 died and 100 injured in the fire in total)

[@samlol5161]

holy crap my building has the exact same fire alarm, the tune is the same, and even the bell when they need to get your attention

[@GaryBeltz]

That bell is common on Simplex voice evacuation panels it triggers when you key the mic. some of them also have two beeps/chimes when the microphone is keyed just depends.

[@qu.richards]

As Gary said, yes, that is a Simplex system. I'm pretty sure most American voice evac fire systems are Simplexes, but I could be wrong.

[@GaryBeltz]

All the major fire alarm companies have voice evacuation systems but Simplex is the most common company for both voice evacuation or regular horn and bell systems.

Double O Tossing wood normally fire panels are wired to elevators to go into fire service

[@PhirePhlame]

Automatic recalls only occur when the fire alarm activation originates from an elevator lobby, an elevator shaft, or the elevator machine room.

[@IanGSully]

@@PhirePhlame Honestly in my opinion, they should program the system to recall the elevators no matter what when the panel goes into alarm, because in general, you shouldn't use the elevators when the fire alarms are going off.

[@johndeerefan725]

@@IanGSully most tall buildings have the panel connected to the elevators to recall all elevators to the lobby when the alarms go off, my dad worked at a 60 story building and the fire alarms went off and all the elevators went to Phase I and recalled to the lobby with my dad in one of the elevators getting recalled to the lobby.

[@railevator4000]

Yeah, that’s kind of weird in the first video you hear the code 3 low pitch alarm, tone.

[@jacobisworld9516]

Then when the person gets on the intercom and talks on it as he’s moving over by the other elevators, you can hear another alarm going off, which is the whoop tone I mean, how is it possible for it to have two alarms.

[@PrepareForTakeoff123]

Yea idk how it’s possible to have 2 different alarms. Why could they not have the same alarm system instead of 2 different systems

[@joeycaridi3030]

This is why they should've acknowledged the system before making the announcement so the announcement doesn't have that high pitched sound from the panel's piezo

[@CheemsTheTransportGuy]

[@captainchris2016]

​@Albert Jin - OFFICIAL CHANNEL i believe its the broadband temporal tone, simplex's low frequency for voice evac is a little lower pitch

[@PrepareForTakeoff123]

The beeping fire alarm at the start of the video sounded like my iPad having a seizure when my friend keeps texting me

[@NeilPrasad_1905]

No one set off the fire alarms at the lobby. They went off from floors 13-19. Automatically it got activated in the entire hotel as there was a fire.

[@NewAgeServer]

These systems are set up to sound the alarm on the lobby floor, the floor where the alarm was reported, and the floors directly above and below that floor.

[@AutoUnder]

@@NewAgeServer I believe this particular system when activated sounds the code-3 tone across the whole building except the floor where the alarm originated from, two floors above, two floors below and emergency stairwells, which instead gets the Simplex whoop. After a pre-defined time delay, the whole building gets the Simplex whoop and standard Simplex evacuation message

[@seankelly3171]

Being on a lift when the fire alarm goes of is my worst nightmare

[@CatBot007]

As shown in this video the elevator will immediately return to the star floor and lock the doors open if the fire alarm goes off

[@PrepareForTakeoff123]

Wow on a hotel and I love the alarm

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

Talk about a freaky encounter! I would say this is a very first on KZbin. Did the elevator say “ please exit when the doors open” or did they have the voices turned off in the elevators?

[@GaryBeltz]

Usually when the elevator enters fire service whether it talks or not the firefighter hat light comes on and usually the alarm that's used to indicate the elevator is in nudge mode goes off and keeps going off until the elevators reach the recall floor once the doors open the alarms stop and the elevators shut down.

This is a simplex voice evac system that uses this low frequency code 3 tone as evacuation tone.Since the keying tone is the same as a simplex voice evac system.

[@AutoUnder]

Sam Luo, the code-3 is actually just the alert tone. It does the Simplex whoop and standard message when it’s on evacuate

[@doggoofthebath5593]

This is a link to a video that has the same alarm system going off at the same building, but a totally different time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4C3e2l6osdkf9U This system is either a 4100U Two Stage Voice Evacuation System, or a 4100ES Two Stage Voice Evacuation System. Stage One includes a code-3 standby tone. Stage Two includes a whoop tone with a voice-evacuation message. In this video, the system is only seen in stage one. In the video I linked, the system is shown in both stages. Devices on this system include: Simplex Single-Action Addressable Pull Stations Simplex Life-Alarm Speakers (Discontinued) Simplex Conventional Ceiling Speaker-Strobes (These are probably not the only devices on this system. They are just the ones i’ve seen so far.)

[@joeycaridi3030]

It's weird how speakers in some areas play a code-3 tone and others play a slow whoop tone as some Simplex tech must've programmed speaker circuit zoning

OH WOW THE FIRE ALARM IS A LOW FREAQUENCY SOUNDER!!!

[@GaryBeltz]

Actually they are speaker strobes if you listen you can hear what I'm guessing is the desk clerk or a member of security making an announcement of what floors are affected by the alarm. The code-3 chime may be a low frequency you can also hear a slow whoop faintly when the announcements stop.

[@RJARRRPCGP]

Simplex was the first one, all the way back in the late-1990s, to come out with that tone, by the looks of things. They would be on 49xx strobes and speakers. That's probably the same tone as The Diamond Run Mall in Rutland, Vermont, which was opened in the late-1990s. This was before that standard, (NFPA?) AFAIK!

[@BukuiZhao]

You can hear the code 3 at 0:05 but at 0:42 you can hear two chime and then a voice evacuation message and at 0:49 you hear a buzz before the voice evacuation message starts and at 1:44 you hear the simplex alarm. I think the code 3 is just a alarm from the elevator because it is recalled due to an fire emergency

[@f5tornadogray]

That's cool

[@aw3s0m3-i]

[@christophelee1304]

What happen?

[@Markthebasketballplayer]

0:21 looking at the fire alarm

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

So everyone on the 16th floor had to walk down the stairs all the way?

[@GaryBeltz]

Usually they will have the people on the affected floors relocate to a lower floor like 13 would go to 9, 14 to 10, 15 to 11, and so on. It's always 4 floors down from yours when that happens If you are on one of the lower floors then they tell you to evacuate.

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

Gary Beltz what about the people already in the elevator, do they stop at the nearest floor or does it go all the way down?

[@GaryBeltz]

In the event of a fire the relay connecting the elevator to the fire alarm panel will put the elevator into fire service mode. They will go to a predetermined recall floor usually the first floor and possibly the basement if the alarm was triggered on the main recall floor. Once the elevators arrive on that floor as you see in this video the doors open and the elevators will shut down.

[@GaryBeltz]

Huge ladder trucks generally once they find out where the fire is they will raise the ladder up to the floor and break a window then they either spray water directly from the truck or they'll send firefighters in there with hoses.

[@Clement-xy9iv]

Oh yes I see. You know, I live in France (I'm French) and there's no hiiiiiiiiiigh buildings like this. so I didn't know how they do. Thanks

[@cemops8660]

In england they have a dry rise pipe on the outside of the building, and all the floors of the building have them inside and the fire fighters can hook up the hose to the one outside and they then go inside and hook up the hose to the one inside on the floor where the fire is and put it out like that. this is how they do it in giant skyscrapers in england, even in shopping centres and big flats ( apartment buildings )

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

Or usually there is a fire hydrant located in the stairwell or somewhere, they use that.

[@ryang3526]

I heard regular speaker strobes in the background. Why did it sound like the sprinkler did not activate

[@GaryBeltz]

The sprinklers only activate if heat from a fire melts the little cap that plugs it up. Even when one is triggered it's not like you see in the movies where they ALL will go off at once only the sprinklers that were actually affected spray water. You can pull every pull station in that building and the sprinklers will NEVER go off.

[@danielleharrison5765]

Will they do work but they're not working right now because there could be a fire and fires could mess with me wires to the elevators so that's why they recalled all the elevators.
