Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

I knew it was one of the knockoff Classics. Never knew about a CO2 version, interesting.

100% correct, it’s at a Drury Plaza hotel to be specific, but actually right next to a drinks bar.

what the… Siemens and System Sensor?

TheCarson116 · May 31, 2026, 9:22pm

Possibly left over from a previous system. That SpectrAlert seems like it’s mounted really low though.

Nah, its considerably normal, i just took it from a high pov

So around half the images I try to upload result in an error and the stuff that I want to won’t upload at all ;-;. So here’s some miscellaneous stuff.

Just noticed that underneath that 2400 style detector (idk the actual model of those addressable versions) is a painted over Edwards 128D-G1 buzzer (or something similar)

Is that a SAE V33 on the ceiling? Looks like it.

The09Creeper · June 1, 2026, 10:14pm

Holy fluff, they replaced the pulls My friend took one pic

Matthew_Kight · June 1, 2026, 10:34pm

That really sucks. But at least you documented this much.

TheCarson116 · June 2, 2026, 3:00am

Wow, hecks of finds right there, especially that frosted-lens speaker/strobe! (I know I’ve seen that style of strobe before, but I forget what brand it belongs to)

Is that what that is? Huh, was wondering what that might be.

Yeah, sorta looks like one.

What were the original pull stations? (& what panel is that? (Standard Electric Time going by the round backbox above the 270-SPO implying that there was a Standard Electric Time 700 mounted there previously?)

Mhm! A picture is worth a thousand words as they say!

Willevation · June 2, 2026, 4:18pm

A Fyrnetics 1255! That’s quite a cool find

Willevation · June 2, 2026, 4:21pm

I’ve never seen this panel before, that’s cool

The09Creeper · June 2, 2026, 4:28pm

Yeah, it’s lucky it still exists at all and using the original panel no less

TheCarson116 · June 2, 2026, 11:48pm

Yeah, right next to a much newer Edwards Signature Optica-series detector no less!

Neither have I, though evidence points to it being a Standard Electric Time FACP.

Ah, thought so. Yeah.

aerhardt · June 3, 2026, 1:28am

It is a bit difficult to see, but I believe that’s the Standard logo at the bottom of the FACP.

TheCarson116 · June 3, 2026, 1:31am

Oh yeah, didn’t notice that at first, good eye!

This is quite the late reply, so sorry about that, but we had a fire alarm of our own at school today:

Fire Drill and Emergency Procedures for the school year 2025-2026

We had a false alarm today (6/2/26) in summer school. At around 12:35 PM, the fire alarm went off. Some people didn’t know whether or not it was a test, since we just had one last week, but everyone did eventually evacuate within a minute or two. Around 10 minutes later, the fire department arrived, and they did eventually clear the building. We actually got to go back inside at 12:50, which was just 10 minutes before the end of the school day (it’s shorter in summer school).

From what I heard, someone in the building accidentally had a major mishap with a microwave. I also listened to the fire department dispatch, and two devices (almost certainly smoke detectors) were actually activated, so there definitely was a significant amount of smoke. It didn’t happen in our area of the building, though, so I didn’t notice a difference.
