- So I went to go grab a snack and refill my water until the fire alarm went off at the Doubletree Hilton hotel I’m staying at in Niagara Falls, New York. The reason it looks like I’m not evacuating because before the scene I ran back upstairs, one of the staff told everyone in the lobby it was a false alarm, then a stranger told me that there was another person that said there was a carbon monoxide leak (location unknown). At the end, I was told it was indeed a false alarm and everyone went back inside. I made sure I had my room key, my phone, and my wallet (which you always bring before evacuating. I don’t even know which person to believe prior to the cause. In this video, there were several things wrong.
- Dysfunctional speakers on the first floor and a dysfunctional strobe on the second floor stairwell
- Someone who took the elevator downstairs during a fire alarm. DO NOT USE ELEVATORS DURING A FIRE EMERGENCY!
- People waiting in the lobby (I don’t think this is a huge deal though, since there wasn’t any signs of smoke)
P.S. I refilled my water and as well as get a Snickers candy bar for free after the video! What a treat!
Alarms:
System Sensor SPSR speaker strobes
System Sensor SPR remote speaker (in my hotel room)
System Sensor SR wall strobe
System Sensor SCR ceiling strobe
System is a Gamewell FCI S3 of some sort!

Ngl I see your comment in every fire alarm video!
most high quality speaker i've ever heard
False alarm but still can't silence the system!! Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe and have fun!! ( I didn't pull it that was funny) ...
depending on the state laws you can't touch the fire alarm system until the fire department gets there and gives their approval to silence it or they will silence it.
@@GaryBeltz in my town, you can silence but not reset
Its not a false alarm it was actually a carbon dioxide leak
I dont get these weaker alarms. People are sleeping you gotta wake em up!
They’ll usually have a mini horn or low frequency sounder in the rooms
00:32 What caused the speakers to not work properly on the 1st floor was the wires from the speaker amplifier that connected the zone 1 speakers on the control panel (which is the 1st floor) were all deteriorated with also causing a System Trouble on the panel saying that the fire alarm speakers are not working.
When the fire department were resetting the system they always check to see if everything's all good on the wiring and on the panel to fix any lose or deteriorated wires and fix any system Troubles that are related to the panel so the system is up to code. After they fixed all deteriorated wires and system Troubles then they will tell the hotel to schedule a test date to see if all fire alarm devices and the system is working correctly.
At 11:11 The strobe on the SpectrAlert Advance speaker strobe isn't working because the wires to the strobe are loose or the strobe is burnt out. If it is burnt out the speaker strobe will get replaced with a System Sensor L-Series Speaker Strobe or SPSRL. If there was a Trouble on the panel that the strobe wires were loose then the hotel would get a technician to look at it because the fire department only fix system Troubles at the panel by making sure the wires at the panel are all connected and In good condition. If there wasn't a Trouble on the panel then the hotel would get a technician to replace it with the System Sensor L-Series Speaker Strobe or SPSRL.
So all of the speakers on the 1st floor are all working again after the fire department fixed the deteriorated wires with the System Trouble relating to the broken speakers all-gone with the technicians that fixed the strobe on the 2nd floor stairwell and made it work again with the current device or replacing it with the System Trouble relating to the broken strobe all-gone, and the hotel has tested their system.
But that was sure is a lot of code violations for those non-working speakers on the 1st floor and the non-working strobe on the 2nd floor stairwell.

i am thinking some spectre alert advance speaker strobe fire alarm needs to be either fixed or replaced though. but this is why more people needs to find those non functioning speaker but the strobe worked.
Joey Caridi why was the dysfunctional speakers at 0:32 where deteriorated? And the dysfunctional strobe at 11:11 the wires from it were loose or the strobes burnt out? The hotel needs to get a technician to look at it because the fire department only fixes system troubles
@@ArisBuliteanu It's at the fire alarm control panel room from the Gamewell FCI S3 panel that has the 1st speaker zone circuits or speaker zones and the wires on the 1st speaker circuit (which Is the 1st floor were deteriorated). The System Trouble was caused because the panel was detecting no DC Supervision Voltage on the 1st speaker zone line.
The Trouble from the Dysfunctional Strobe was caused from the wires that connect the strobe were and the panel wasn't detecting the Supervision Voltage so that caused the system trouble.
The System Troubles on the Gamewell FCI S3 panel are caused from no Supervision Voltage being detected at the end of line (EOL) resistor to the panel.
@@joeycaridi3030 (Update) was the system replaced with theL series or with the current device?
@@ArisBuliteanu I don't know. No fire alarm enthusiast/technician has never made a video of them replacing the broken system at this hotel. I've heard that CoolSimasGuy will become a fire alarm technician as his future job. Im not sure whem he'll become a fire alarm technician, but from this video he'll become a fire alarm technician in the future: czcams.com/video/hiyqmUB-BLE/video.html
Once he becomes a fire alarm technician, then he'll fix the broken speakers on the 1st floor and the broken strobe on the 2nd floor stairwell if the hotel hasn't got a technician to fix the problems already
Hey it sounds like that @ my school!
This brings back memories of my elementary school.
Happy 1y anniversary of this video!
Hey The Noise that those Fire Alarms make sounds just like The Fire Alarm Tone on A Honeywell Apex Destiny 6100!
I’m sorry this happened but I love how these fire alarms sound and voice evac is a plus for this hotel
What voice evac?
@@jonathanstarling1082 you do not know?
@@catarmy387 gamewell???
A false alarm can very quickly turn into a real emergency, never use the elevators whenever the alarm is active
thoes speakers probably do work they just didnt need to the false alarm was on the second floor a ways away. thoes probably came on saying stand by for further notice thats why their strobes were flashing.
the theater in cookeville,tn on christmas in 2018 the alarms are system sensor spectralert speaker strobes they did that same code 3
I have that alarm in my school auditorium.
😱fnf 👎 t
Nice hope they fix those "broken" speakers.
They shall replace them with L-Series.
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 that's good
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Replacing them won't fix the problem really. Technicians usually solve fire alarm problems via troubleshooting so in this case to troubleshoot the speakers on the 1st floor not sounding, they'll have to look at the speaker circuits on the amplifier and fix the 1st floor speaker circuits and check and test all the circuitry at the panel to further see whats causing this. After they fixed the problem all the speakers on the 1st floor will be working again and if some speakers don't work then it's a problem with the unit themselves and will get replaced to System Sensor SPSRL L-Series Speaker Strobes. The one in the stairwell that has a dysfunctional strobe should also get replaced to the L-Series Speaker Strobe as well
Something’s wrong with the amplifier most likely.
Best fire alarm.
My favorite fire alarm spsr
leave if there was carbon monoxide in the building
Lastima no es el mejor jugador que me llego muchas Gracias 😊
My hotel has this alarm. What voice evac does it use? Pulls are notifier
Wow thats crazy. I live in Buffalo which is near the falls.What was that Evac system?
Gamewell E3 with EVAC.
Of all the fails in this video, by far the least mentioned is in the evac message itself. "There has been a fire alarm reported...". What were they thinking when scripting that message?
This is everything that shouldn't happen during a fire evacuation.
a speaker strobe in a bathroom is overkill
Speakers not working on the 1st floor will not sit tight with a fire alarm technician. I don't know if the dysfunctional speakers problem on the 1st floor problem is new or it has existed for a long time and sometime after the system is put in place because an inspection must not have been done here
you would not have been woken up by the fire alarm at midnight/middle of the night
It was loud enough to wake my parents up haha. They were fast asleep before the alarm went off.
Take The Stairs, Never The Elevator. Elevators Are Reserved For Firefighter Use.
Shouldn't even be possible for the general public to use it when the alarms go off. Firefighters need a key (or they're supposed to, at least)
We have those alarms outside my school and sound different
Cool
The reason the speakers on the 1st floor weren't working because the installers were so lazy that they forgot to hook up the speaker circuit!
or they forgot speakers existed so they thought that was just a unique horn/strobe
Did everyone rush out of this hotel or they just stayed inside since it was a false alarm?
Some stayed, some evacuated.
"lets put a camera RIGHT NEXT to the fire strobe.........can totally see through that
And also have the camera's flash programmed to flash at the same flash rate of the fire alarm strobe as it's a battle of a camera flash strobe vs a fire alarm strobe and the camera literally just records the white flashing with total darkness
why it's more exciting to see a strobe irl
Did you go to bed when it stopped?
And po is the requirement to make my own decisions on a daily basis for Android or other products
Is this fire alarm loud in person?
It actually wasn’t that loud.
@@CoolSimasGuy did it scare you when it went off?
The fire doors never stay shut.
That also proves the system is broken like the speakers aren't working on the 1st floor and a strobe not working on the 2nd floor stairwell. Not up to code and #whatafirealarmfail
@@joeycaridi3030 looks like some relays aren’t good or even setup.
Everything ok what cause the alarm to go off at a hotel
Mr advanced again
every building i walk into is an army of pc2rs... -_-
there has been a fire alarm reported in the building. No it should be there has been a fire reported in the building
It's just the technicians choice of the message. But since it does have elevators, it's needs to be changed to where it includes do not use the elevators
This building has an alarm system! Evacuate! 🤣
What Gamewell FCI system is this?
I’m guessing E3
what time did it go off?
It went off 5 seconds before 10:10 PM
what floor were u on
CoolSimasGuy was on the 2nd floor
@@joeycaridi3030 Bingo!
Why you so lucky with false alarms!!!!
Because you're a really good fire alarm enthusiast
Fire alarms are no joke never estimate a false alarm
y u p
did they start off with a voice or a beep
A beep
@@joeycaridi3030 how do you know?
It started with a beep. The alarm went off like 5 seconds before I started recording.
@@CoolSimasGuy so it had just started going off when you recorded? Also, how many floors was the hotel?
a fire alarm reported what?
It's a technician choice programmed message as it means to be aware of a fire alarm reported in the building
I'm guessing the alarm was triggered by some drunken guest pulling it, smoking in his or her hotel room, or using the sprinkler as a coat hanger?
Not exactly sure! I didn’t ask anyone, other than the one lady by the elevator who said there was a possible Carbon Monoxide leak.
@@CoolSimasGuy To my knowledge CO leaks wouldn't trip the fire alarm at least in fire mode if that was a mass notification system and it had CO detectors usually that triggers an alert mode and a different message plays I've seen some on here. One had a tone then a message saying something along the lines of "May I have your attention please! A carbon monoxide condition has been detected in the building please proceed to the nearest exit and move to fresh air!"
@@GaryBeltz Well, if the smoke detectors in some rooms were smoke/co2 combos and they were tripping the system, I think it would trip the fire alarm system. It’s something I can’t explain well though.
@@CoolSimasGuy how many floors did the hotel have?
6:54
3:30 bathroom alarm
06:55 snack room
05:07 hotel room
5:47 hall
imagine your system went off at night and that's why coded is abit better because it is less scary and i got a 4004 for my birthday
What voice evac is this?
Gamewell FCI E3
What caused the alarm? They seriously need to fix the system..
I’m not 100% positive. All I heard was a Carbon Monoxide leak, and then I heard false alarm
hmm it's got stairs but i think it needs to say do not use the elevators for each male and female messages voices.
That's how voice evac message won't get occupants to use the elevator during a fire emergency which is why the messenge needs to be changed and say: "Do not use the elevators, use the stairways."
Really, the elevators shouldn't have even been in service when the alarms went off. They should've been recalled and captured on the ground floor
@@xHadesStamps exactly if the elevators are installed they will be recalled.
HORN STORBE IN A BATHROOM
It was a speaker strobe at 03:26. Speaker strobes are allowed to be installed in bathrooms but horn strobes can't because horn strobes are too loud for bathrooms
@@joeycaridi3030 why can’t homes be in a bathroom
@@jonathanstarling1082 Because bathrooms contain tile and metal and are really small making the space very acousticly loud which is why horn strobes aren't allowed in bathrooms. Speaker strobes are allowed because they're quiter than horn strobes. Also the volume on speaker strobes can be changed using the watts setting. 1/4 is the lowest volume setting 1 is the normal volume setting and 2 is the loudest volume setting. Speaker strobes mostly are set on 1/4 or 1/2 watts in normal rooms and in bathrooms on 1/4 watts
@@jonathanstarling1082 it’s too loud
what brand is the fire alarm in your hotel mircom or wheelock
