An updated version of a system I made up nearly nine years ago…
Ocean Shores Elementary School was built in 1978-1979 as a campus-style elementary school.
The school initially had four separate fire alarm systems: one to control the main building, one in the field house/auditorium building, and one in each of the two classroom buildings.
The main building had a Simplex 4207 fire alarm panel installed in the main office, and in the main lobby there was a Simplex 4308-style annunciator. All the alarms were Simplex 4051 horns on 4050-80 light plates (all with black “FIRE” lettering on the lens), and the pull stations were Simplex break-glass 4251-30s. Smoke detectors throughout the building were Simplex 4259-35 heads (rebranded ESL detectors) on 4259-39 bases, while the restrooms, kitchen and other smaller rooms or closets had 4255-5 heat sensors.
Both classroom buildings also had Simplex 4207 systems, but they were smaller two-zone systems installed in maintenance rooms. Because there were no interior entrances to the classrooms (they all had doors that went directly outside), each building had two to three Simplex 4051 horns on weatherproof backboxes installed right outside. Each regular-sized classroom had a remote 4050-80 light (also with black “FIRE” lettering) installed, though one of the buildings had a larger classroom, so a regular 4051+4050-80 horn/light was installed. Each classroom and maintenance room had a Simplex 4255-5 heat sensor in it, and outside each building there were two Simplex single-action 4251-20 single-action pull stations installed inside special cabinets with “FIRE ALARM PULL STATION INSIDE” on the door to protect them from the elements.
The gymnasium/auditorium building also had a Simplex 4207 fire alarm panel similar to the one in the main building, but was installed in the athletic director’s office. An annunciator was placed in the main entrance to the building. Again, all alarms were Simplex 4051+4050-80 horn/lights, and outside there was a 4051 horn on a Space Age AV32 light plate. The pull stations were all Simplex 4251-30s, and in the gymnasium they had metal cages installed over them. 4255-5 heat sensors were also installed in all required areas, though the main lobby outside the gymnasium and the one outside the auditorium had 4259-36 smoke/heat detectors.
The outdoor school bells were 10-inch Simplex bells behind grilles; each building had two installed. The gymnasium also had two 10-inch bells installed behind grilles, as did the auditorium, but the main building and the other interior areas of the gymnasium/auditorium building had 6-inch Simplex bells surface-mounted on trim plates. All bells and clocks were controlled from a Simplex master time panel in the main office located in the main building.
In 1983, the 4051s in the auditorium were replaced with Simplex 2901-9806 horns on the 4050-80 light plates.
In 1987, a 4051 horn outside the classroom building on the left stopped working, so it was replaced with a Simplex 2901-9838 horn.
In 1991, the Simplex 4259-36 smoke detector in the gymnasium lobby died, and was replaced with a Simplex 2098-9201 photoelectric detector head on a 2098-9637 base. A couple of the classrooms also had the same detectors installed to replace heat sensors. The 4251-30 pull outside the school media center was replaced with a Simplex 2099-9754 single-action pull.
In 1996, another 4051 horn broke down, this one outside the classroom building on the right, and was replaced with a Simplex 4901-9817 electromechanical horn. A Simplex 4005 panel was installed in the gymnasium/auditorium building to replace the failing 4207, which was then gutted and used as a junction box. The old annunciator was left intact.
In 1998, a Simplex 4004 fire alarm panel was installed in the classroom building on the right to replace the shorted-out 4207 there. One of the two 4251-30s there was replaced with a weatherproof Simplex metal T-bar (made by Sigcom). Additionally, a 4251-30 in the main building’s cafeteria died and was replaced with a 2099-9756 dual-action pull.
In 2001, the main building’s Simplex 4207 panel shorted out and was replaced with a Simplex 4020 panel. The old annunciator remained intact to this day. Additionally, another 4051 died on the classroom building on the left, and was replaced with a weatherproof Wheelock MT-24-WM horn/strobe.
In 2004, a couple of 4098-9601 photoelectric TrueAlarms were installed in the main classroom building to replace old smoke detectors that died. Additionally, the 4051+AV32 outside the gymnasium/auditorium building was replaced with a weatherproof Wheelock A-MT horn/strobe.
In 2009, a 4251-30 pull outside main building’s cafeteria and another 4251-30 in the auditorium lobby were found to be inoperable and were replaced with 2099-9103 break-glass pulls.
In 2013, the Simplex 4051 horn in the media center failed, and so that and the 4050-80 plate it was on were both replaced with a Simplex 4903-9425 TrueAlert horn/strobe. A few more older smoke detectors were also replaced with conventional TrueAlarms.
In 2017, the gymnasium/auditorium building’s Simplex 4005 panel started having issues, so it was replaced with a Simplex 4007ES panel.
There is currently talk of eliminating the existing panels and upgrading to a new Simplex 4100ES system network while keeping all existing signals and initiating devices, to eliminate the need of having all systems controlled separately.
Yes, I based this off the elementary school used on the Nickelodeon cartoon series “Rocket Power.” I always thought that school had a pretty cool design and wondered what its alarm systems would be like.

Franklin Middle School was built in 1972, renovated in 1994, and was expanded in 2009.
Panel
Simplex 4002 tied into a Simplex 4010, the original panel was a Simplex 4207.
Initiating Devices
The original building has Simplex 2099 pulls, and a mix of 2098 series and TrueAlarm smokes, a few ESL heat detectors are installed as well. There are also Simplex duct detectors installed as well. The original system had Simplex Chevrons and Pyrotector heat detectors, along with a few ESL smokes.
The 2009 expansion has 4099 pulls, and addressable TrueAlarms.
Notification Appliances
The 1972 wing has Simplex 4903-9220 horn/strobes in the hallways, library, locker rooms, and cafetorium. A few of these were replaced with Simplex TrueAlerts. Classrooms, offices, and restrooms have Gentex GX-90 Horns. The art room and music room have Wheelock MT-LSM horn/strobes (replacing broken 4903-9220s). The gym has 4903-9168 speaker/strobes tied into a Simplex 4003. The signals in this wing do continuous, the speakers play a slow whoop tone and voice evacuation message. The original system had flush-mounted 4050 horns.
The 2009 expansion has Simplex 4906 TrueAlert Horn/Strobes throughout, with 4904 strobes in the restrooms. The signals in the expansion do code-3.
Clock/Bell/Intercom system
The intercom system is a Bogen Multicom 2000, replacing an old Rauland system. The master clock panel is a Lathem 512 replacing an older Simplex model.
Hallways, offices, the library, and locker rooms have wall-mounted Bogen Clock/Speaker Combos. Classrooms have ceiling mounted speakers and wall mounted call in switches. Classrooms, the cafetorium, and gym have Lathem Digital Clocks. Outside, and in the cafetorium and gym, there are Bogen Megaphone Speakers. The bell was a tone over the intercom.
The newly reintroduced bell system will Simplex STR 4-inch bells inside, and 10-inch bells outside.
