Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any photos, so here are some random interesting things I’ve seen at various places.


Old 1970’s Ademco system at a former factory. Apparently it still works.


The only notification appliance was this bell above the panel.


These Chloride-Pyrotector smokes were all over the building.


David Friend Recital Hall, Berklee College of Music, Boston. This was the setup throughout most of the building, but the first floor and performance hall had Notifier BG-12LX’s and Wheelock ET70’s.


Uchida Center, Berklee. Pulls were Simplex 4099’s. I believe the NA’s were a mix of these Space Age VA4’s, TrueAlert speaker/strobes, and a few Wheelock ZNS’s.


Uchida Center. These were the smokes.


Old Fire-Lite Sensiscan at a hotel outside of Nashville. The system had BG-6’s, 7002T’s, System Sensor 1800’s, and some older yellowish Edwards smokes.


North Market, Boston. These appear to have replaced 4050-80’s. The panel was a Gamewell-FCI 7100.


Quincy Market. These covered up 4050-80 backboxes were everywhere.


“Fire-Mark” smoke detector at a hotel somewhere in Cleveland. The rest of the system was Honeywell with ET-1080-LSM-24 speaker/strobes and 2400 smokes.


Old Notifier bell at a parking garage in downtown Nashville. I think these were disconnected since TrueAlert speaker/strobes were close by.


Cancer Center, Allegheny General Hospital.
