Pulling fire alarm at my high school for a test

[@nics-systems-electric]

Full fire alarm testing video at this school kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4PcZoKbh6t8fpI

[@firealarm421]

The nacs sounded like they’re out of sync

[@nics-systems-electric]

Definitely

[@bjthedjdutchdude1992]

Lots of modern horn only's. I like that

[@vrryan6]

got a home depot ad after this video ended

[@nics-systems-electric]

Nice

[@techguyft]

Me: I wonder what KZbin thinks the alarms sound like KZbin: ah yes, *[Music] to my ears*

[@Big-cc3nn]

I’m getting flashbacks 😂

[@P25AES]

Our AHJ would have a hiss fit over the lack of sync.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah not sure how we got away with that technicians have been brought in to try and figure it out and they have said that it is not possible to sync this system for some reason can’t remember why

[@jonathanmoor7035]

wow cool it kind of remind me of college

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

Wow you are so lucky to have a cool job that you get to work with the fire department to replace and reinstall fire alarm systems that is really awesome

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes it is fun I don’t work with the fire department but with electricians however most of the job is not fire alarm other electrical maintenance but it is still fun

[@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan]

@@nics-systems-electric That's still pretty cool though impressive

[@Alarm994]

I'm not pertisapating in the United States anymore but its still good to watch videos like this.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I don’t live in the United States

[@Alarm994]

Later on in the future I'm going to make a alarm testing video.

[@wsdgpwx.stormchasers]

Very nice test! Big school!

[@jaqayperry1558]

the school looks so awesome

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thanks I like it to

[@s.ep30]

thats a nice annunciator

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yep I like this one

[@TheJakeman789]

I’ve always wondered what the point of outside horns are for. I get it if they are for a notification of a fire suppression system discharge. I guess they are mostly telling you not to enter the building? And it seems only schools have them outside.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Because it’s a roof top basketball court and in order to evacuate you have to go into the building

[@TheJakeman789]

@@nics-systems-electric ah makes sense. But what’s interesting is all the schools where I live don’t have that, and they have outdoor horns around the whole buildings.

[@thatcanadianrailfan]

1:34 looks like your running from a real fire or something lol

[@nics-systems-electric]

Never know there could be one better just to run and be safe

[@s.ep30]

@@nics-systems-electric yeah you always gotta make sure your safe from the fire if the fire alarm goes off

[@GTAEmergencyVideography]

Hey Pickle please respond... Been watching your vids for a few months now they've been great for someone like me who's new to the fire alarm industry. I believe I watched one of your videos a while back where you went over your fire alarm key collection but I can't seem to find it on your channel now? Wanted to view it again. Is there any way you can re-upload it or give me the unlisted video link? Thanks!!

[@nics-systems-electric]

I’ll just make a new video in the next couple weeks

[@GTAEmergencyVideography]

@@nics-systems-electric Thanks that would be great!

[@RyanLake185]

how many decibels are fire alarms usually set at cause most of the time they seem to be very loud

[@nics-systems-electric]

Depends on the type of alarm they usually put out between 75 and 115 at 10 feet

[@danielb5305]

Nice video.

[@NormanWeather]

Do you know what kind of bell system this place has?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Telecor System with speakers and speaker clock combos and just clocks in some hallways all voice over IP

[@sieandknsproductions3491]

What are the brand of the panels?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Notifier

[@thatvierkid]

L series or system sensor spectralert advance?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Both

[@thatvierkid]

@@nics-systems-electric oh

[@FiveSixEP]

Did you know that the sparks from long lightes can trigger ionization smoke detectors. I don't know why though.

[@J19_vlogger74]

Electricity ionizes air

[@Flamenmagic]

Sounds like the system is out of sync

[@nics-systems-electric]

Ya a lot out of sync

[@ryancozier4882]

That's a Code 1 horn

[@dale4231]

So this is clearly a very new and amazing school building yet somehow the newest areas with those l series in the hall still have remote horns. Canada confuses me…

[@nics-systems-electric]

6 year old building With a new section that is one year old new section does have strobe coverage in the hallways old section does not I did not really go into the new section in this video

[@lumenfirealarms]

Hello there my friend! Long time! Is always nice to see a Notifier System!! And cool and fun test! Great school by the way!! Stay safe and have fun! ...

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thanks definitely a nice building

[@GaryBeltz]

Wow dude you must've been an athlete all that running and you barely got winded

[@nics-systems-electric]

Would definitely be if I ran the whole school

[@ScantPear]

It’s not a bell it is horn strobes

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes I do know that

[@brandonkonicki2177]

what's the trouble on the system?

[@nics-systems-electric]

There is no trouble

[@cussmustard4748]

Do people who pursue this line of work usually attend some form of technical college before entering the field? Or is it more apprenticeship oriented? Also, do you plan on pursuing this as a career? Great content btw!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not sure about what you have to go through for fire alarm technician I am planning on going to trade school as you have to in Canada to become electrician not sure if I will get into far alarm service or not

[@GTAEmergencyVideography]

@@nics-systems-electric In Canada, Electricians who have their fire alarm licence too make big $$$ and you seem to already have a good grip on this stuff I would def think about it! I can see you being very very successful in both fields

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@GTAEmergencyVideography probably would do that from the electricians I know with their fire alarm training/license have said it’s very easy to do the fire alarm training

[@GTAEmergencyVideography]

@@nics-systems-electric It is, you could probably pass with the knowledge/experience you have right now! In Ontario you can get it as early as 6 months and its very easy

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@GTAEmergencyVideography nice

[@FiveSixEP]

4:16 flipped over sofa. Who did it lol

[@nics-systems-electric]

I’m not sure

[@mikeschulte4271]

No it’s not mean to do that at 7am and wake people up they sometimes could use a morning wake up call 😂

[@vinnieversaci452]

Why mostly just horns and very little hornstrobe

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not required very many places the new addition has a horn strobes though just not the old section which was built in 2014/2015 so would’ve been based off the 2012 code cycles

[@boydalexander4652]

At least you had permission
