Re: Question for group on Pull stations?

["Jackcsg" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You have to keep in mind also, that the primary purpose of the manual pull
station is for evacuation, not only for fire, but any life threatening
situation. Most schools will even make it practice for bomb threats, as to
not alert the occupants of the actual crisis. It's the fastest way to
evacuate a building, for what ever reason, not just fire. I don't see them
ever being obsolete.
Circular motion makes people think outside the box.
There's a much bigger picture for pull stations....
