Upload your cool, unique, and interesting fire alarm pictures here. I would recommend including at least some text with your post so that people can reply to it (I’m pretty sure that’s how that works). They don’t need to be your pictures, but at least say that they aren’t yours (as I did).
I’ll start:
I found this on the website of a local construction company. Apparently, this is in a local building. I thought this picture was kind of cool.
I was going to upload this in the “Buildings That Have Separate Horns and Strobes” topic, but that topic is kind of dead now, so I decided to start a new topic that I thought would be interesting.

I have another cool picture! This is one that I actually took myself. I took this picture in the choir room of my district’s old high school tonight. I was there for a band event because the new school’s auditorium is not yet finished.
As you can see, this is quite a busy picture. On the left is a spot where a hardwired clock from the building’s Simplex (probably originally SET) clock system once was. To the right of that, is what I believe to be a Standard Electric Time 4” class change bell that is original to the school. This would make sense because
@NEOhistoryfan101 has helped me identify the original FA system as being a Standard Electric Time system. That bell is still in service (or was until the school closed a few months ago).
To the right of the bell, is a Simplex TrueAlet horn/strobe of some kind. This replaced a Pyrotronics rebranded 7002T around a year ago. I actually don’t know if it is SmartSync or free-run because over half of the old devices have been replaced with TrueAlers as they have died. They could easily be SmartSync because there are enough of them around the school that synchronization of even just these devices could be beneficial. On the other hand, they could be free-run because they have been replacing old devices that are not syncable and many of those old devices are still on the system.
On the far right is a cheap battery powered clock that presumably replaced the Simplex clock. That clock’s battery is dead.
