Château Montebello (Montebello, Québec, Canada)
This hotel, possibly the largest log building in the world, has one of my favorite systems.
Panels: The hotel has a Mircom FA-300 while the swimming pool building, connected to the hotel by an underground tunnel, has a http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/IMG_8224https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg Simplex 4008.

Signals: Electro Vox bells mounted next to speakers. Some of the bells have been replaced by Wheelock and http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/SANY0817https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg Notifier models.

A few of these have been replaced by SS “doorknob style” smokes and one of http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/SANY0807https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg these. The underground tunnel leading to the swimming pool has a http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/SANY0769https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg Simplex branded System Sensor smoke and a TrueAlarm. The three story lobby (with all wood finish, six-sided fireplace and very high ceilings) has Thermoflex http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Temporary%20Uploads/IMG_8188https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg heat detectors that don’t appear to be installed on backboxes as the wires are stapled to the ceiling.
Other: A tiny open-air hut located on the restaurant’s big outdoor patio has a red Adaptahorn and 270-SPO with French lettering, most likely used for a fire suppression system as the hut houses a barbecue. I also saw http://i804.photobucket.com/albums/yy322/Chupacabra_1/Fire%20Alarms/SANY0814https://cdn.thefirepanel.com/legacy/3092_6fd21bb48ddcf136c9e6c757ef70e19b.jpg this in the hotel.
Brann’s Sizzling Steaks & Sports Grille (Northville Township, MI)

- Ceiling-mount SpectrAlert classic horn/strobes
Pulls:
- Fire-Lite BG-8 pulls
REI (from my http://jjinc24.info/gallery/ Photo Gallery)
This is a picture of a Wheelock AS. I would say that 70% of the horn/strobes in the building are ASes.

The other 30% of the horn/strobes are Wheelock Exceeders. Multiple of the ASes were replaced when during a remodel a couple of years ago. You can see two in this picture, mounted on the same poll.

Here are two Exceeders mounted right next to each other. I don’t think I would want to be standing in that corner if they went off…

A McDonald’s restaurant in Braintree, MA that my brother and I ate at last night had a Fire-Lite MS-9200UD system with SpectrAlert “classic” horn/strobes (even in restrooms!), Fire-Lite SD-355 smoke detectors and BG-12LX pull stations.
Seems to me that the McDonald’s restaurants in my area are leaning more towards Fire-Lite now instead of FCI. I’ve already seen some other ones with similar/identical systems, almost always with SpectrAlert-series alarms (“Classic” or Advance, depending on when the system was installed!)
