Fire alarm in Springfield apartment complex rings for hours

When Western Mass News crews arrived to the scene, we could hear the alarms sounding, all the way from down the street.

My high school fire alarms are crazy like this. Different looking and sounding alarms all over the school, also with the way the school has multiple buildings.

Glad I live in a single family home. You can easily shut them up when there is a nuisance alarm.

This happened to me but I was never on the news

Be thankful the system at least works. Imagine a real emergency without a functioning system.

You need to realise that Fire Alarms ONLY NEED TO SOUND DURING A FIRE BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS FOR NO REASON IS NOT GOOD

[@Ronnocbot]

@@stephensnell5707 You need to realize the importance of testing. They could save your life! What if they didn’t work and you were hurt? The small annoyance is a small price to pay…

[@cg7240]

@@Ronnocbot They weren't testing. Stop being overly optimistic. A screeching alarm going off in your apartment for no reason is not normal. A test should last 5 minutes at most. When it goes off for hours, people will no longer take the fire alarm seriously. They may ignore it if it ever goes off again. You need to realize that FALSE ALARMS ARE DIFFERENT FROM REAL ALARMS

[@Ronnocbot]

@@cg7240I completely agree with you! Never said anything about this being acceptable or normal. BUT imagine the news story if there were no functioning system at all, and lives were lost due to a fire. The odds of that are small, but it’s a small inconvenience to pay in my opinion.

@@Ronnocbot it's not a "small" inconvenience
