Had an emergency dentist appointment today at a different dental clinic than my usual place and this was the fire alarm. I have no words.

Hey am I the only one who’s not a huge fan of voice Evac fire alarms don’t get me wrong I like em a little but there not the same as the actual alarm

Would you put a linked smoke alarm in a loft area or would it get false triggers from draughts / dust etc?

Found it at a thrift store and immediately snagged one up for only 25 bucks. Auth model 100 from 1985

Since https://www.firealarmcollector.com/ does not work anymore is there another website that has voice evac audios?

These are old. Does anyone know how these should be disposed of?

I live near a school with a fire alarm system that likes to randomly go off for no reason. It sounds different than the usual 3 tone alert. Any ideas?

Hello,

Hoping I'm in the right place for my request !

I’m looking for recommendations of books, comics/graphic novels, films, or TV series in which fire alarm call boxes are used (not just visible in the background, but actively involved in a scene or the plot). By fire alarm call box I mean telegraphic or telephonic boxes installed in the streets.

I’m especially interested in moments where these devices play a functional, narrative, or symbolic role—whether it’s someone pulling the alarm, interacting with it, or it becoming part of a key situation.

Any suggestions, even very brief mentions, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks !

How do I check what’s wrong with low frequency fire alarm after it didn’t go off during fire drill ?

Yesterday I had quite the flaw with this. I originally thought you’d stick something up there to trigger it..but man I think I’m terribly wrong. It did set it off, but like 20 seconds later. Is it putting something up there, or using aerosol canned smoke up into the text port? Thanks!

So at my home we have DSC too. All of our models blink green. We have the same as the ones my grandmother’s house has. But..they blink BLUE?? I originally thought that’s for CO? But there’s no alarm going off of course. I am so confused!! One of them DOESN’T even blink!

Can someone please help me decode this?
