Well they are labeled my multiple company’s so I would say he is in the right.
Touche. 
So is it Fire-Lite who makes them or somebody else?
Green Mill, Albert Lea, MN
We went there for Mom’s birthday dinner.
Unknown system, no panel/annunciator/pulls seen, probably Fire-Lite/Notifier.
SpectrAlert P1224MCs, S1224MCs.
I should add that the building also has elevators, and above them are ionization detectors.
First Street Parking Deck (Detroit, MI)
Alarms:
- Several red beacons are scattered throughout the parking garage, which are presumably used for the alarm system.
- Above some pull stations (see below) are some bullhorn speakers which might be used as part of the alarm system as well.
Detectors:
Gentex 7100H photoelectric detectors above elevator entrances.
Pulls:
270-SPO pull stations throughout the parking garage, with most being non-ADA compliant.
Cobo Center (Detroit, MI)
Alarms:
- Most of the alarms are RSS strobes (red and white, wall and ceiling-mount) throughout the building.
- Some parts of the center have ET90 speakers used as part of the voice-evacuation system that is installed here.
- Some parts of the center have Exceder series horn/strobes (red and white), the very first time I have seen one of these in person!
- Some parts of the center have red beacons hung from the ceiling.
- Some parts of the center have E70 speaker/strobes.
- Some parts of the center have E50 speaker/strobes.
- Some parts of the center have E-7025 speaker/strobes.
As you can probably tell, Cobo Center has a large assortments of fire alarms in many different places.
Detectors:
A mixed assortment of heat and photoelectric detectors (unknown manufacturers and models) can be fond throughout the building. A funny thing is that some of these detectors are actually BLACK; they blend in with the background color of some of the exhibits!
Pulls:
- Johnson Controls branded NBG-10 pull stations in older parts of the center.
- Johnson Controls and Fire-Lite branded NBG-12 pull stations throughout most of the building.
- Johnson Controls (by Honeywell) branded NBG-12LX pull stations in some parts of the building.

I was at another high school in my district today:
Pulls: Simplex dual-action addressable t-bars
Alarms: Simplex TrueAlerts
The annunciator that I saw near the main entrance leads me to believe that the school has a Simplex 4100U panel.
CE Events Centre (Ottawa, ON)
EST3 with annunciator, bilingual SIGA-270 pull stations with General Alarm keyswitches and white Integrity horns or speakers mounted next to Genesis remote strobes (http://s804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/?action=view¤t=SANY0100https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg&newest=1; some are ceiling-mount versions while others are wall-mount versions). The signals are set up in a very similar way to those at McCarran Int. Airport in Las Vegas.

Detectors:
For some strange reason, one hallway in the school has all these smoke detectors installed: Ridge Fire Company No. 1 - Chester County, PA There were no other detectors I saw while I was here.
Pulls:
Ancient break-glass pull stations (likely National Time, given the rest of the system)–these pull stations are non-ADA compliant. The pull stations in the gymnasium and stage area have protective covers.

Disabled American Veterans Chapter 114 (Livonia, MI)

Update: I actually remembered seeing a Simplex 4100U(?) by one of entrances.
I was at a high school in a nearby city today, which was built in 1988. The system has been upgraded since then, but parts of the old system remain…
The alarms are Simplex TrueAlerts and Simplex Tbars - some are single action, but most are dual action. You can see that there used to be a different alarm here.
A dual-action Simplex Tbar
Most of the TrueAlerts were labeled with the NAC number and the device number on that NAC. For example, a label might read NAC2-5.
A Simplex Wiffle Ball detector in the same classroom as the picture above. Not sure if any other rooms had these since it was the only room I was in, but I assume there are more elsewhere.
Most of the detectors are True Alarms.
There was a System Sensor SpecterAlert outside.
