Where is this? How common are Firecom systems in NY? I’ve personally only ever heard of one or two Firecom systems outside of the Northeast U.S.
In Manhattan, its super common, in the outer buroghs, its rare.

Check for one tomorrow
Like @Croatian_fire_alarms said, I doubt any of them are still in service.
Those are likely even harder to find then a full MXL-V, or a Simplex 4100.

That’s what I’m thinking judging by the gutted flush-mounted silver 4-bay 4602 annunciator right beside the EST annunciator. I also believe it was built in 1998.
Yep, a 4002 Possibly.
