Fire Alarm Goes Off at King of Prussia Mall (Again!)

Skip to 6:19 or 7:35 if you want to hear the alarms.

I am not sure what set off the alarm, but after the alarm was reset, I noticed a faint burning smell around the former Lord and Taylor court. There were also some police and firefighters in that area, so my guess is something happened in that area that set off the alarm.

Yesterday's events also solidified my understanding of the mall's fire alarm system, since last time I heard it go off, I am almost positive the Plaza and Court were not yet connected. It looks like when an alarm is tripped in the Plaza, the Plaza's alarms go off (older Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL panel, probably from 1996 when the South Plaza was added), but the strobes flash in other parts of the mall, which explains why the strobes were flashing throughout the Orange Garage and Expansion wing. There WAS a video of the alarms going off in the connector on YouTube many years ago, however I cannot find it anymore. It was the standard newer Siemens code-3 beep, I don't remember a message in that clip though. I'm not sure what would happen if an alarm is tripped in the Court or Expansion wing. I am almost positive that the Pavilion's system is completely separate since that used to be a department store, so that would have nothing to do with the main mall's system.
