Fire and Smoke Alarms

Three different fire engine companies (or fire stations) receive the call to go fight that one fire. Usually that means its one really, really big fire.

The above is partially correct, but still incorrect. A multi-alarm fire is given its' alarm number (one-alarm, two-alarm, etc) based on the number of "units" and firefighters present at the fire.

Here in Kern County, two engine companies may respond, and the fire may still be classified a one-alarm fire. I have dispatched 2 engine companies (7 units, 23 firefighters) to a warehouse fire, that was coded a three-alarm fire.

Not every city or county uses this method of multi-alarms. It is however, the most widely used system.

Other factors also play into the multi-alarm system. Such as firefighters needing relief from exhaustion, the fire spreading to other buildings/structures, or the fire simply being to big to contain with the resources available at the fires' location. These will almost always result in more engine companies being called in to assist, thus raising the multi-alarm code to the next level, or higher.

Personally, I have no idea what "smoke detector tape" is.

A weak source of Americium-241 is found in smoke detectors. The Alpha particles, which ionise the air, are emitted from here. This causes the air to conduct electricity and a small current flows.

YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN IF ITS THE RELEASE OR PULL DOWN THATS NOT WORKING.

I'LL GUESS THAT IT'S THE PULL DOWN. IF THATS THE CASE AND THE MOTOR IS

GOOD,(RUNS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS WHEN 12VOLTS IS APPLIED) IT'S MORE THAN LIKLY

THE LOWER SWITCH THATS MOUNTED ON THE MOTOR. I WOULD RATHER KEEP THE

ORIGINAL THAN GO TO MANUAL,IT'S NOT A BIG JOB.

GOOD LUCK

I have the same prob, changed the motor and no go. where can I get the wiring diagram for this closing motor

The wiring diagrams for these electronic details aren't included in the Haynes or Chilton manuals, but there are good diagrams and fault search test procedures for nearly all electric accessories of the Cad in Cadillac's own workshop manual. It is a thick book but very very good, and can still be found at eBay.

No. A shoplifting alarm is not a metal detector. The sensor frames do not react to metal. They react to a special tag placed on or inside the product or package.

if your alarm goes off when you open the door just simply put the key in the door and turn it and it will turn off. you can also turn if off by putting your key in the trunk and opening it to.

To enter a locked 1991 cadillac without a remote, simply use the key to unlock either front door lock. If all is working properly, the system will disarm. Arm /Disarm switches are integral with the front door lock cylinder and interior door lock switches. The system will automatically arm when using the inside electric door lock switch to lock all the doors.

A loose wire to the alarm, either power or ground, an inline fuse may be blown, or the unit itself could have malfunctioned

In some circumstances you need to put the alarm control panel in one location but have the information from the panel available somewhere else. For example, the control panel might need to be installed in the main reception area of an office complex but the information might need to be duplicated in the hut of the night-watchman. Another example might be in a school where the alarm control panel needs to be near the school office but the information also needs to be available in the caretaker's house. In these and similar situations, FirePoint-2 gives you a simple solution.

Either find the right fuse in the fuse panel box(look in the owners manual for a diagram), or disconnect a small box(buzzer)under the steering column up underneath the dash. Make sure your disconnecting the right box by listening. If the noise stops you have got the right one. Good luck.

Hopefully it was just a fuseable link. I did the same thing on a Kubota. I got a wiring diagram and found the location of the fueseable link and replaced it. Life was good after that.

I don't believe that if you place a smoke detector inside a closed space like above a false ceiling , it will have the same effect than if it was attached to the ceiling on the occupied space side. See the related link for some general guidelines and always check local codes or with the fire marshall for specifics.

I think these beeping sounds usually mean the internal battery has a fault and will need looking at

CBRNE alarms are warning systems designed to detect and alert personnel to the presence of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive threats. These alarms can include a variety of detection technologies, such as sensors, monitors, and warning systems, to ensure rapid identification of hazardous materials or situations. They play a crucial role in emergency response and public safety, allowing for timely action to mitigate risks and protect lives. Effective training and communication are essential for the proper use and response to CBRNE alarms.

Yes, green grass can catch fire, although it is less likely to ignite compared to dry grass due to its higher moisture content. However, during extremely dry conditions or prolonged heat, even green grass can become sufficiently dry to burn. Additionally, if exposed to a strong enough ignition source, such as a spark or flame, it can catch fire. Overall, while green grass is more resistant to fire, it is not entirely fireproof.

Its a really big fire and you need to stand clear

There are a lot of different price for a Guardian Alarms system. This depends on the type of the Guardian Alarms system. One might be able to buy a Guardian Alarms system at the price of around 100 dollars.

You can find personal security alarms at your local home improvement stores such as Lowe's, WalMart, and Target. You can also purchase them from online websites such as Amazon and have them shipped to your house.

Wireless burglar alarms are available from companies like Blitz Security Group, Spy Alarms, GE, Skylink, and AAS. The website Wireless Security Now provides free price quotes from wireless alarm companies.

Because the bottom part of the flame is normally blue, and as it rises throughout the flame it changes its color to yellow. They call this the dirty flame because the original color is blue, and has become 'dirty' and changed to yellow.

Yes, some jurisdictions allow government employees (firefighters, fire prevention officers) to help a property owner to check their smoke detectors. However, it remains the responsibility of the property owner to actually check.

In addition, any commercial structure may be required to provide an annual certification from a qualified contractor that describes the exact testing and maintenance that has been performed on each and every smoke detector.

Most fire prevention officers would not be professionally qualified to do any such certification, and doing so could be a professional conflict of interest.
