That’s a First. I’ve never seen a Super Low Mounted Fire Alarm before. Besides the Alarms I have that aren’t Installed Lol.
And a painted sprinkler with no thermal sensitive fluid inside
Seems like there’s a pigeon nest
There’s a nest of somekind. Not sure if it’s a pigeon nest or not

Are my eyes deceiving me… A flush-mounted BNG-1?
Do we gotta hammer an opening above the pull station just to pull it?
Or perhaps an Allen wrench could do the job?
Either way, what the heck
Doesn’t everyone carry a Notifier key around? 
Or they could just use their lock picking skills.
Well at least the key is in it
Oh i didn’t see that.
In one of the shops at my school, one of the Siemens SLSPSWW-F speaker/strobes is blocked by a huge shelf. I wouldn’t even know it was there if I hadn’t seen it before they put the shelf there. I’m going to blame this on whoever thought it was a good idea to install wall-mounted devices in the shop. There is almost no way they aren’t going to get blocked or damaged. Ironically, almost every device in the rest of the building is a ceiling-mounted device.
Also, there is a Siemens XMS-S pull station in the same room that has the key in it. Also, it looks like the front cover is loose and may fall off eventually. Luckily, this is a simple issue to fix and it will probably be corrected when the system is inspected over the summer.
These photos are both from last year, when I went to go upgrade my iPhone SE2 to an iPhone 13:
SuperCuts in Stamford, CT has this BG-10 that was NEVER RESET! (Probably was like this for years:)
Down the street from this SuperCuts, this T-Mobile has a GE SIGA-270 that was also NEVER RESET!:

Wow. That’s really not good. Whoever is in charge of resetting them needs to start doing their job. Same thing for the fire code inspectors.
Look how they massacred my boy.
I just saw this today at my local ACME Markets in Stamford, CT! They forgot to reset the alarms after a duct detector was tripped (I checked the annunciator on my way out):
Additional info: The system is a Notifier SFP-10UD with EST 278B pull stations, SpectrAlert Advance horn/strobes, and i3 detectors. Other administrative devices include a MS-5012 as the backup panel, as well as a Notifier N-ANN-80 annunciator at the entrance.
Do you have any idea how long this has been going on or if they plan to stop it soon? That system definitely shouldn’t stay in alarm. Those strobes also have to be a getting annoying for the employees, and it can’t be good for them to be constantly running.
I believe that the alarm condition started only today. I just ran in there to grab milk when I noticed the alarm going off- and, hopefully, by my next visit, the alarm is silenced! They might do it by today evening, when the closing procedures start.

I noticed this pull station while shopping a few days ago; I almost missed it at first. I’m not sure why there’s a pull station there as this is a random spot in the middle of a wall (not near an exit). This won’t be an issue for much longer as the store will be closing in a few weeks.

Simplex TrueAlert ES Speaker Strobe on the wall at Puttshack Oak Brook:
Also has ALERT lettering. Never seen that on an ES S/S before
That certainly looks odd, but it’s technically compliant because the strobe is meant for ceiling mounting so it can be seen from all directions. Definitely an interesting find!
