I know! It was just a stupid wish. I would have been charged for theft if I did.
I dreamed about having an MS-4, but when I woke up, I was like “NOOOOOOOOO”.
I had a dream about a Johnson Controls IFC2-3030 system with JBG-12LXs and L-Series in a hideous McMansion somewhere in Tennessee. It was very vivid and looked exactly like the real life versions.

Guess I got something. Had a dream a bit ago when my school’s Simplex 4002 system got replaced by a mix of a Silent Knight panel and a Simplex panel that doesn’t exist irl. Devices weren’t up yet and the old 4002 was still active.
JCI is in Memphis TN! Near me.
One time during spring break, I had a dream that my school’s AV devices got replaced by voice evac devices, and turns out it was true. When I went to the elementary building for art class irl, many spectalert classics got replaced by Hochiki rebranded speaker strobes and later on, the spectralert advanceds got replaced. Only one spectralert classic remains and it is 3rd gen, which explains why the elementary building had spectralert advanceds as well. They also added Hochiki SOE-24 conventional smoke detectors in that parts of the building that had no i3s. But this is not over. My middle/highschool building also got the Hochiki voice evac upgrade on the silent knight system. All the spectralert advanced devices were removed, and many nacs were relocated. I still see a lot of system sensor mounting brackets with no alarms on them, dangling on the wires.
Sorry. The new products were Potter products. Not Hochiki. But Potter and Hochiki are both making the same design for their latest smoke detector. They also rebrand gentex devices to this day.
Had One Last Night Where I Invited The Fire Department Over To Inspect The System In Where I Went To For Junior High, Which Had A Mirtone 7800, For The Pulls, They Were A Mix Of Mircom MS-401s And Mirtone 73303s, For Smokes, There Where System Sensor 2400s, And Edwards 6250 Series, For Heats, All Edwards 281 Series, For NAs, General Signal MB10-24s, Notifier KMS-10-24-VDC-Ps, Wheelock MT-24-LSMs (High Volume, Hi-Lo), System Sensor MASS (High Volume, 1200 Interrupted), Wheelock MB-G10-24s, Simplex 2901-9722s, And Potter MBA-10-24s. The Building Is Sprinklered, And The Bell For That Is A Mircom BL-10B. While We Were Using The Torch To Test An Edwards 281, We Accidently Popped A Sprinkler Head. We Eventually Got The 281 Activated, But Did It Permanently, In Other Words, We Popped The Disc. I Had To Run Down To The Sprinkler Tree, Which Was In The Janitor’s Office, Near The Cafeteria, And Shut Off The Line That Was Activated. I Then Had To Replace The Heat Detector Which We Permanently Activated. Thankfully, The NACs Were Disabled. It Was A Saturday, So No Students Were Around. We Had Already Told Dispatch That This Was Only An Inspection, And Not To Send Anymore Firemen. I Then Told The Chief, “I Am Going To Enable The NACs, And Do An Audible Walk Around. I Am Going To Record What Happened And Upload It To YouTube. Once I Hit Record, I Am Going To Re-Alarm.” I Hit Record, Did A Re-Alarm Using A Pull Station, Once The System Activated, I Reset Said Pull Station, Then Ran Around The Whole Building, Making Sure Every NA Was Sounding Healthy, After All Of That, I Ran Down To The Sprinkler Room, And Checked If The Flow Switch That We Tripped Was Reset. It Was, So I Ran To The Main Panel (In The Principal’s Office), And Hit Silence. I Disabled The NACs Again And Continued The Inspection.
When I was in elementary school, I once had a dream where I was running around the hallways and the alarms were blaring (The school itself had SpectrAlert classics but in the dream they were replaced with big and loud buzzing ones, which is also kind of funny since the school has a few abandoned 4037’s), and I ran into the bathroom where there was a hidden alarm that sounded exactly like someone was spamming a midi keyboard with a trumpet soundfont.
Then in another dream (that also took place at the school), I saw a new alarm that was rectangular like a 4903, but smaller, and had the strobe of a SpectrAlert Advance on one side but it had a different horn grille on the other side. It also sounded like an Advance but you could only hear it when you’re really close to the device.
Then in another dream I had, it was an episode of The Amazing World of Gumball where they were at the store then Richard stole something and an alarm blared, and it turns out an electrician accidentally set off the fire alarm in the hotel I was staying in at the time, which had SpectrAlert Advances.

A hotel you were actually staying in or a hotel in your dreams?

It’s been a while since my last fire alarm dream, but I have two to report from that happened recently!
For the first one, I was walking around my local ACME in Riverside, CT (which ironically still has the A&P décor from before it became an ACME!) However, there was something different: it also had some old Sears décor somehow! The weirdness came from when I began walking around some parts of the store that do NOT exist in real life (in the dream, the store was HUGE because it was a former Sears.) At one of the parts, I found this very strange Fire-Lite LCD-80 mounted high up on a support column. There was a difference - it was somehow a duct detector annunciator and it looked like this: (in the dream, the system was a Fire-Lite MS-9200UD panel with a Fire-Lite Fire Command 25/50X voice panel, BG-12LX pulls, SD365 detectors, and Edwards GS 896 speaker/strobes.)
It also appeared to be locked in an acrylic cabinet. On top of it was a System Sensor Innovair, but it looked similar to the one in NewAgeServerAlarm’s old intro (from his older system tests.) I also remember walking around the store, going through a set of double doors that then led into a very corporate-looking elevator lobby. In that lobby was strangely an Edwards GS 278B and a Edwards GS 896 speaker/strobe! However, that lobby strangely led into ANOTHER retail store - with that being a TJ Maxx (IIRC)! It was on the SAME system, but had BG-12LX pulls and SpectrAlert Classic horn/strobes.
Now, for the second one, I pulled up to the Ridgeway Center in Stamford, CT, as they were undergoing a demolition of part of the buildings. At the time, it was really early morning, so I decide to check out the demolition for some fire alarms. And, lo and behold, I found some quite interesting ones! The system in the building that was being demolished was a FCI 7100 system with MS-7AF pulls (but strangely with the Fire-Lite logo, when I checked inside, it said ‘MS-7AF’), Simplex 2099-9754 pulls (those had a Gamewell/FCI monitor module paired with them), and the notification appliances were a mix of Wheelock 7002Ts on trim plates, Siemens U-MMTs, and a few SpectrAlert Classics. I tried finding as many as I could quickly so that the demolition crew did NOT catch me - and I was able to. However, I went back in the evening and I attempted to score some more finds, but the crew was there packing it up. Rather than waiting it out, I decided to run back to my car and go back home.
