Fire Alarm at West Virginia University Dormitory

I spent a week, July 28-Aug. 1, 2008, at West Virginia University in Morgantown working with teachers on the SATELLITES education program. I stayed in Stalnaker dormitory with the teachers and got a rude awakening at 2 am the first night when the fire alarms went off. There were a total of seven fire alarms at night during the week due to a malfunction of the system. I took this video during one of the fire alarms. The sound was ear splitting. The fire department had to come out each time. What is in the fire chief's black bag that he carried with him each time he came to the dorm? That is the big question. We never found out.

What did you say the first bit of the video after it cut off to when you opened the door,I think it was something like "I hope--" then you must have cut that half out the video or something (Just wondering lolz)

@cindy1000000 Probably said "I hope this is another false alarm."

probably some tools and keys maybe a small manuel.

I think it was some keys or small tools. It was too small for a thermal imager.

Fire alarms in continuous are the most annoying.

That alarm sounds the same as the one at the school I work at. Simplex system?

I would hate to have those alarms in my school.
