Fire Alarm at the Mall of all places! what are the odds? LOL

The fire alarm went off briefly at the Maplewood Mall, at least for a minute, I was only able to capture the last 5-10 seconds of the alarm because like I mentioned it was an unexpected fire alarm. As you can see the video is pointed on the floor most of the time to avoid getting caught by mall personal. I taped this the day after I returned from Chicago on vacation.
I did notice at other Malls in the Twin Cities Metro, some have voice and alarm such as Rosedale, Mall of America and Southdale. This mall does not and I think all malls should have such a device.

If any one out there knows what model these alarms are, please respond! I especially would like to know what the wind up whoop alarm is.

A wild mix! Sounds like also 9833s or 9838s and Wheelock AS or MT.

I did see a Wheelock AS in the T Mobile Store in the Mall

You say you think malls should have an alarm with a voice...you were smart enough to figure out it was a fire alarm, why do you need to hear a voice too? Everyone knows, that when you hear a fire alarm it means get the fu(k out...do you have a set of headphones that say "breathe in, breathe out" in order for you to live?

I'm pretty sure the whoops are Notifier. We had those at my middle school. I've been trying to find those myself, I just need to find out the model number!

I can tell that the horn is some sort of simplex.

Fmbloxghost and zachray263 - there is new thinking in Emergency Management pertaining to not immediately evacuating during an alarm. Some revolves around exit capacity, some has to do with human response and behavior. In a large building, it is not always necessary to evac the whole thing.

Worcester2007- the voice-type alarm is new and not applicable to all buildings due to acoustics. Your mall might get voice when they upgrade the alarm in a few years.

I had a goddamned scary dream where I was sitting in m classroom and a guy ran ino the room and screamed fire, then I got up and walked out the door, but my legs kept collapsing and everyone was running twoards a door at the end of the hallwaywhile I kept falling down and could barley stand. That, to this day, was one of my scariest dreams.

[zachray263]

if it asks you to locate your exit, why would it say there is no need to evacuate?
