Did they not do a fire drill in September?

[@nathanfreeman2510]

in my school it takes us all about 5min to evacuate because it is just a huge circle

Everyone says they are going to die * the alarms are screaming for help they say help we are going to die

oh?

[@n0clu318]

thats one spooky alarm :0

[@propolloxpearl95algo-gent82]

3:15 fire drill starts Plus why was there a 3 minute delay?

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

That's what they configured it as, so the site team can investigate before we evac the whole site

[@propolloxpearl95algo-gent82]

Do some of the call points activate the alarms straight away (The ones near the kitchens/science room?)

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

@@propolloxpearl95algo-gent82 Plant room MCPs are instant

[@propolloxpearl95algo-gent82]

Then if there was a real fire and someone activates a call point with a 3 minute delay would that be dangerous?

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

Nah, as they can push another if it's real and it should full alarm

[@lseditsrando]

IM DYING OF LAUGHTER SO YES KIDS LOL

[@SouthLightFX]

Did anyone find out why the pagers didn't go off?

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

Yeah, config issue on the panels didn’t send any notification to them

[@SouthLightFX]

Douh... 🙄 Many thanks; I had wondered.

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

@@SouthLightFX No worries, is fixed now I think

[@SFSWales]

I had a fire alarm today in my school and the sound of gent 34770s is just....

[@itzmxrkomg]

....amazing Bam finished your sentence

[@Rhythmman14]

I helped with a drill in my final year of sixth form, we had an MxPro there and i was allowed to press the Evacuate button on the panel as it was my last drill there

[@Jaacon05]

the evacuation button isn't the best way to do an evacuation test but i guess it works, should've activated an MCP to simulate a fire event

[@imreszappanos690]

I wish I could do that. I'm in my last year of high school. Did you ask the care taker or something? How did you get permission ?

[@lickyourcat8630]

This is so cool do you just have to set fire alarms off or set fire drills at schools I always wondered who set them off at my school. Is it fire safety people who set them off? That’s school looks massive I wouldn’t want to find my way out of there in a fire 😂

[@NACAFireAndSecurity]

Senior Leadership instructs site on when, the site team is who conducts drills. A lot of awaiting for date and times to do it goes on, before it happens

[@nathanfreeman2510]

what is a pager

[@SunSecurity]

[@dale4231]

What took the alarm so long to activate?

[@stanlee_x329]

It has a delay.

[@dale4231]

What for? Here in the US there is a 30 second max delay that’s tolerated. The person activating the alarm might not realize that it had a delay and keep going to other call points. Also if there is a real fire that’s not good because you only have about two minutes to escape.

[@stanlee_x329]

@@dale4231 During that time, certain people go look round the activated Fire alarm's area. If they get another alarm in it will start the notification devices. If they find fire, heat or smoke they will then trigger another call point or run to a panel and press Evac. Either way the reason they have a timer on the sounders is to allow an investigation which would save a full evacuation.

[@SouthLightFX]

I agree with you there Stables_X... Upon activation of a second device; the delay is immediately by-pass and the alarms sound. This delay (also known as pre-alarm) stage is used to allow time to investigate the nature of an alarm, without causing a needless evacuation in the event of a false alarm. In some places; this pre-alarm stage might be accompanied by an intermittent tone/alarm and/or fire alert message (if using voice evac)... a noticeable example of this is the fire alarm within Sainsburys (One of many UK supermarkets).
