[SML] Fire Alarms and Concerts

[Fritz, Barry]

A discussion arose at a meeting this morning regarding emergency alarms/announcements and events with loud sound systems.  The audio system in one of our new venues has overrides built in to cut audio when the alarm system and emergency announcement are activated.  The question that came up is what happens when there is a concert with an outside sound company providing audio.

What is the standard industry practice/policy dealing with an external concert/loud event audio system and being able to hear the emergency alarms?
