What do smoke alarms sound like?
Просмотров 97 тыс.Год назад
A smoke alarm will alert you to two different things. The first is that it has detected smoke. The second is that there is an issue with the power source, either the batteries or the connection to electricity. So, what's the difference? If a smoke alarm is alerting you to smoke, it will make three short beeps, like those in this video. If you hear those beeps, GET OUT and STAY OUT! If you hear ...

PFA Board of Directors Meeting - September
Hi as you probably know propane and natural gas alarms are becoming more common I would be interested in seeing a video propane vs natural gas alarms
I'm prank on Deena
AKU SUKA😭😍😭😍😭😍😍😭
i love it toooo
What does it mean when it chirps? 🧑🏿🦲
It's typically letting you know it needs a new battery or some maintenance
here's the chirp meanings 1 chirp means it needs a new battery 3 chirps means it's malfunctioning and 5 chirps means it's at the end. of it's life
Usually that it needs a new battery
BEP BEP BEP BEP *warning: carbon monoxide*
Mine goes BEEP BEEP very loudly then in a meduim volume a robotic women voice it proceeds to kindly say "fire" after blasting my eardrums with BEEP BEEP
same!
This type of voice alert can really grab your attention! It's less likely to be mistaken for a false alarm compared to just a simple 'beep beep'.
Useful to prank people
nice
Nice
Nice
noice
I would love to see them forcing European anti burglary steel doors with 3 triple locks on side and 3 on top and bottom of the door with steel frame. They wouldnt be able to even put the steel tool to pry open them
Nice helpful video . Greetings from Germany
Great video!! I wanted to add something about the FDC pressures. High rise buildings are required to have signage showing the pressure required to hit 100 psi at the top.
*Promo sm* 😇
That firefighter looks a little like Patrick Mahomes. Nice video.
Terrible video. You need to flush the hydrant prior attaching the hose. You surely know this.
That guy at 3:59 went through it. Got burned and still fighting fires. A true warrior right there.
When I go to this camp im going to ask why do we get modern helmats why cant we get traditional helmats
What does 5 beeps mean??
I can hear the smoke alarm in my apt complex, and from the apartments across the street? It’s been going on for awhile (I’m slightly annoyed seeing as it’s 5 in the morning) but I’m 90% sure there’s no actual smoke going on, so why are our alarms and our neighbors being triggered? And on top of that, sometimes ours will turn off for a few seconds/minutes, only to turn back on again? While our neighbors alarm is singing for its life? Mind you there’s no visible fire or anything, and nobody seemed to be evacuating, plus it’s kind of sprinkling atm? Idk Im sorry for rambling, I’m gonna go back to sleep if I can.
The first line should be chosen for its proper length for that VBM so you don't have a 60' knot that needs to be shaken out. 4:30 This makes no sense. The folded line should be laid on the ground on its side and then the nozzle pulled to the fire. The water pressure will open what's left like an accordion. 5:30 If the Burning Material is Visible from the street, you position the Engine, so the Deck Gun has a line of sight on it. One FFer on the hydrant line. The second is the engineer activating the pump. The third to the Deck Gun and the Fourth pulling a line. This took 55 seconds, and you will be hard pressed to find one fire video that shows water flowing even this fast. There just aren't any because the USA doesn't have people with that kind of work ethic. Don't worry, I've been a citizen of the USA for 71 years. I just have the ability to evaluate performance. 6:20 I KNEW IT! Look how the officer has to shake out the line and the engineer has to leave his post to do the same. Didn't happen like stated at 5:20. It wasn't the water pressure that did it. It Could have if the folded hose was laid on it's side and then pulled out by the nozzle. "Grab and Run doesn't get it done!" That's THREE people to effectively pull a line. Who has that extra manpower available? When an officer has to get their hands dirty, there is no one leading. 8:30 Here is the "Theory." which is good. It is the application where the pile is just dumped into a knot that destroys the theory. 9:35 You don't have to do this, which creates an even bigger knot, if you just laid the hose parallel to the engine and head towards the structure with the nozzle. The water pressure would have pushed the remaining hose out. 12:15 That's why you have different packages for different applications. One hose does not fit all situations.
Interesting video, but could I put it in Spanish please? I speak Spanish
Thank you, My neighbors alarm was going off and i didn't recognize the beeping sound. I was worried they're carbon monoxide was going off.
Thank you for sharing . Any chance you would be willing to share your PowerPoint presentation? Thanks in advance.
More people need to see this I headed and recorded so many fireworks in hope to stop them but sadly I can't cause I am too young to go on the website. I am ten btw.
Would that be in the UK as well?
Pro tip. If you get to floor you're operating from, and you know more people are coming into the lobby who need to come up and may not have their own key, just turn the phase 2 switch OFF and leave the key in. It will revert to phase 1 and the next crew can come up.
They show no sense of urgency
good stuff
Very good demonstration
Thank u. You would believe how difficult this information was to find
Is there anyway I can receive a copy of this PowerPoint so I can show the new Firefighters at my station?
Hi Matt, feel free to use this link and thank you for sharing!
I enjoy all the content you guys put out whether it's few to little or a million views. this type of content make me proud I chose this field. Here's to looking back at everyone that paved the way and those who will keep the tradition living on. Thank you!
...yeah I got time
well done indeed. Long time no see. Enjoy.
This is very helpful! But can someone tell me, when CO alarm goes off, is it one set of the 4 or will it keep going off like when the smoke alarm goes off and keeps going off until there’s air?
I am a fire sprinkler contractor that test these systems, this is great insight on why we test these systems.
Thank goodness that is not the fire alarm sound in my school.
This looks like a recipe for disaster.
Why?
@@alessandro_dalto Exactly!
@@jedeckert8912 If you can't explain yourself in your first comment and then again in your second comment, you might want to give up and just watch the pretty pictures.
@@JB91710 You just proved my point again!!! Congratulations
@@jedeckert8912 People who can't communicate clearly about a subject are usually covering up their ignorance of it.
fuck i can't remember if there was 3 or 4 beeps when it went off
Is the search done with out a charged hose line ? What happens if they run into some fire ?
The smoke alarm sounded like my microwave
U should connect 1 stairs up the fire. Not 1 stairs down?
nice video, lets call that hose work what it is, Nozzle Forward. Good work
Fire drills can cost a life.
Shitty vid. RUclips is too big for junk these days
This must be the guy that does all the public emergency announcements
So you’re telling me i just spent 2 hours outside, ran back in holding my breath to get my portable charger and watched this video to find out i needed new batteries???
i should not laugh but i cant hold back sorry x_x
Awesome! You all are outstanding.... as always!!
Jesus, watching this in 2021. The fire we just had....
Im watching this in FoCo. Totally random lol
Very impressive. I hope this is thoroughly investigated and widely reported.
