Fire Drill at Work

Fire Drill that took place at my current work location today at 10 AM. It's an addressable Notifier system (AFP-200) with Notifier BGX-101L pulls and classic System Sensor SpectrAlert horn/strobes in code-3. It appears that signals that are in the same area are synced together (as you see in the beginning) but those in separate areas/rooms are not (as you can see in the cafeteria at :34). Also in the building is a room protected with an ansul system that has Wheelock MTs (newer version) and MB-G6 motor bells. I have heard this go off before, but it did not trip the building system (at least alarm-wise).

I start out heading in one direction at :07, but then one of my supervisors calls out my name and tells me to follow her. We head into the cafeteria and then out the exit in that room. We leave the building rather quick, but our assembly spot is all the way on the other side of the building, and being a rather long building, it does take several minutes to get to the assembly location. All in all, the drill takes about 10 minutes to conduct and we did have numerous fire officials on the spot to supervise the drill.

I also apologize for the shakiness of the vid, but I assure you, I was NOT shaking very much and plus, the iPhone 4 not having a stabilization feature like normal cameras do doesn't help. I did try to use the YouTube stabilization function, but it distorts the picture so badly you can't see things very clearly, so i just kept the original vid.

With that said, enjoy.
