So im a night audit for a hotel, big brand name but small, kind of cheap place. Well so far tonight, the internet and cable went out for the entire building, which wasnt a big deal since most of our current guests are military and are already in bed since they get up early. But now I'm having to deal with our fire alarm just sporadically going off for absolutely no reason. A glitch in the system, which I'm sure that a high pitch, ear splitting alarm waking them up continuously throughout the night, they will care about. The hotel is even booked way more than the usual tonight, almost full, because like i mentioned before, there's a lot of military here for training since we are located close to a base. Now I'm just standing posted next to the alarm, and neglecting my other duties to ensure I'm close to quickly silence it if it goes off again. It's going to be a very interesting morning I assume. Yay me! Sorry, just needed somewhere to offload this, since everybody else i know sleeps at these hours
Yeah, if our system loses Internet access, it goes off. You can shut it off, but after 24 hours, it goes off again...
We must have the same trash. I told them if there's not a fire I don't want to hear a single fucking peep out of the piece of shit.
At a different job/career, ours would do the same thing; but, it was because of a grounding issue, due to the buildings/property being so old. When the ground got soaked after a big storm, the alarm would go off all night, and dispatch would be calling to make sure we didn't actually have a fire 😅
Ugh, I remember once the ac wall unit sent up a spark up the curtains and reasonably freaked out the guest in there. He saw flames and ran, and pulled the alarm outside of his room. By the time I got up there to check the fire was out, there was only a tiny scorch mark on the wall but the room was filled with smoke. But because he pulled the alarm, no amount of silencing it would make it stop going off every five minutes until the firefighters got there and reset the alarm. I stuck by as much as I could but kept having to step away to go up to the room but it was on the third floor and so I took the staircase. It really sucked.
I had one guy storm out of his room to yell if the alarm was going to keep going off and its like, sir. I get it. It's annoying. But also it's a legitimate alarm maybe check the situation before demanding it get turned off so you can sleep lol.
One occupied room had the AC wall socket catch fire. I got a call, went to the room and he wasn't stoned OR lying. Ran--at almost 65 yrs old-- to get an extinguisher and the smoke alarm never went off. ID10 had disconnected it.
Same here my alarm panel keeps going off saying short!
I wonder if it has anything to do with the cable and internet. A short connecting them all?
This is happening with me tonight and the past few days, sans military folks ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ this damn storm
just tell them its part of their readiness training.
Yea, our fire panel would do that after a big storm sometimes. It has something to do with the panel not being able to communicate with the phone service stuff. We had repair techs try and fix it only for the problem to pop back up. They gave up and said it's a phone line somewhere in the building.
