Sprinkler Pipe Burst! Fire Alarm Activation in a Campus Building!
Ғылым және технология
This was fun, enjoy the chaos.. The cleanup is complete, the fire panels are confirmed destroyed... Crazy stuff when this happens. Also, it was during the prime lunch hour here on campus. I happen to work in the campus cafeteria so that is why I was sent to investigate. Due to the -20 windchill alongside the full cafeteria, we were not to evacuate unless we had a confirmed emergency. Though the pipe burst was an issue, the building remained open the entire time.

You'd better have a big huge tank of rice for that lol
A lot of damage indeed! Wow, that's probably going to be a pain to get all cleaned up and such 😕 (not too mention the weather had a big impact on that too). Great video 😉
This is very interesting!!!!
0:52 that's a lot of damage. Somebody must've sawed a boat in half...
"the fire panels are confirmed destroyed." i can tell that they've suffered from water damage.

That’s cool!
Yeah, that happened to me back in elementary school. I was in my pajamas when the alarm went out. Luckily, the fire department was next door but for us we had to stand outside with our pajamas on in temperatures below freezing with snow on the ground.
I love those Siemens Speaker Strobes and the FireFinder XLS System Touchscreen Display Adressable FACP
Are those pull stations standard siemens ones or chevron style?
Great video 😀👍👍 In the intro, I really thought you were about to need a bleep and say the word!💩
0:52 Zachary Fleck becomes the new Phil Swift. Also, is that pull station by the door activated? Also also, what kind of system is this?

Hi arie
Tell me about it! I saw the maximum-broad-daylight temp forecast for Chicago, on TWC and most of the midwest, IIRC.The forecast was -15 for the maximum temp for January 30, IIRC. Probably wasn't that much different on February 1. Reminded me of Windy City Rehab, even when I have the feeling that her leaking pipe incident was before this.
They fixed it using the power of Flex Tape!!
Wow I hope the panel is ok
Wonder what the new panel is going to be...
0:52 ZACK IS PHIL SWIFT CONFIRMED!
If they replace the system I hope they put an evacuation message on the new one.
Wow that is pretty bad! yikes the panel might defenitly need to be replaced now especially with that amount of water by the panel and its circuit boards.
What kind of alarms are sounding in the background on Code 3?
Oh wow well that happened
Yikes! That was bad!
Rip those fire panels
Oh wow that’s crazy hope everything gets better and that was a pipe burst not a sprinkler head.
Was that a Gamewell Masterbox next to the panel? Edit: just got to that part. Why wasn’t it connected to the panel in the first place?

Holy Shoot-guy that goes to my school works at a volunteer fire department said his grandpa nephew has some 1905 era Fire hose nozzles I asked if I could have one he said those are his and even if I sneaked one of them he'd notice-he has 65 of them-I am however getting a 2010 new era one.
So that particular building staff manually call fd via callbox? Would think that alarm system would have a dialer to monitoring center. Maybe they don't want to pay a subscription to have the system monitored, someplaces its a law in certain commercial and industrial facilities.

No, that call box actually does trip automatically (Chicago works weird) this is common practice here. Still uses the old-fashioned city tie.
is that a bell i heard?

Yes, a water flow bell. (Goes off when a water flow switch is triggered.)
But how did it burst
Wait, what?? This system is configured such that a waterflow does not despatch authorities?

@@TheFirePanel that's INSANE. I assume they have a 24/7 guard, but still. Imagine a smoke detector in the 9th floor elevator lobby with recall - The guard has two choices: just go ahead and hit the manual pull for dispatch or walk up 9 floors, verify that there truly is a fire, walk (run) back down and hit that manual pull. If he chooses the latter the consequences could be catastrophic!

There is a very orange wall in the hallway. Reflection.
That is a lot of water, drying that must be absolutely insane. Why is it that the call box is required? Is there some sort of failsafe if there is nobody present during an alarm?

The call box is used to actually dispatch the fire department to my knowledge. As for a fail safe, I know the university is alerted but I don't know if fire will ever be auto dispatched.

Didn't the fire department give you guys shit for not evacuating a public place in time of a fire alarm. Cause in the end you have a pipe break due to freeze up in the plenum but it's the AHJ that will do the investigation to determine wither an emergency is cancelled or not. AHJ hence why you never silenced the system alarm or shut down the alarm valve as the is a violation of protocol until AHJ says safe to do so..
