How to Reset a Fire Alarm Pull Station

Every day, hundreds of firefighters, maintenance personnel, and other workers in the fire safety industry are put to the task of figuring out how to reset a pulled fire alarm pull station. With dozens of different types, brands, and models of pull stations this process can be difficult for those with little experience with this equipment. This video goes over some of the most common, and uncommon fire alarm pull stations and shows how each is pulled and reset.

To save time in the video, I did not show every single model of pull station I have (we'd probably be here a while) but after watching 17 minutes of this, I'd imagine the process becomes self-explanatory. Thank you for viewing!

Thank you! An alarm station at our Makerspace was knocked open last year, and we couldn't figure out how to reset it. We just taped it shut and that's been ok. Today someone accidentally pulled one, and I found this reset video, and you had one of ours (the Simplex at 5:10) and I got them both fixed today.

Thank you ser safety for serving us well

Fun fact for those who didn’t know: the BG-10 was released in 1983, and the BG-12 was released in 1999.

Thank you for serving as a firefighter sir.

I REALLY like the dual action T-bars. Just ordered one today. I think they look nice and they are for no reason SUPER satisfying to pull.

Great video. FYI, the Gamewell/FCI pull station at 10:48 is actually made by Signal Communications (SigCom) in Woburn, MA. These can be branded under many different names as is the one you have, and can be single or dual action, toggle or momentary switch and can include a glass bar visible through the open window below the T-handle.

I don't know why but this is really cool

[FireTech]

Something about a tbar on it's appropriate backbox, it just looks cool

I recognize the notifier pull. They used it in the elementary and middle schools in my old district. The simplex “push in and pull down” they had in the middle school when I moved to a new district, and then the T pull they used in the junior high and high school.

Hey! Your an amazing youtuber, after i watched a few of your videos, now im obbsesed with them! I so far have a wheelock fire alarm strobe, and a simplex. Im pretty young, but still this is an amazing hobby, you taught we a lot!

This saves me a lot of money, for I don't have to call an alarm guy, who will charge me a minimum of $250.00 to reset my pull station and then reset the fire panel. Your examples missed the the ones I've seen the most, They are the 'Mirtone' or 'Edwards' model, where it has a glass rod. Anyway, great video!

12:42 if you pause at the time mark on that alarm when pulled is says operated.

13:29 that pull station is somewhat often featured on pickle700s channel. Usually they have English and French lettering
