Q: What was the first non mechanical (Like the ones with the snapping relays. If needed refer to Old school fire alarms.) FACP?

Q: How many rebrands of the Fire-Lite BG-12 exist? (Does not need to be every little security corp that rebrands. just the large companies.)

Perhaps I’m forgetting certain companies, but I counted eight main rebranded versions of the BG-12: Honeywell brands (Fire-Lite, Notifier, Gamewell-FCI, Silent Knight, Honeywell), Johnson Controls, Tyco/ADT and Fike.
Question: Which well-known company manufactured the piezo sounders used in Edwards 882-series horns and 892-series horn/strobes? (I’m referring to the later 882s/892s that featured a smaller black piezo with three holes on the front, not the earlier models that used a rather large paper cone speaker)

It was indeed parkland, an electrician told me about it. NFPA Code changed after the shooting because the shooter pulled the fire alarm to lure more victims and cause mass panic. Only one supervised pull station (monitored by school staff) is mandated in all schools nationally, systems with more than one pull station is grandfathered in.
I’m pretty sure the “mandated in all schools nationally” part isn’t true.
