My first alarm was an EST Genisus Horn strobe. Getting that thing was the happiest day of my life! That thing is amazing.

First device I ever got was a older Legrand manual call point, which I still have but unfortunately broken (two tabs on the bottom that hold the front have snapped), so out of sentimental value, I kept it.

First NA I got is a Klaxon Sonos sounder, in fact I got two of 'em and gave one to a friend.

My first real fire alarm was an Edwards 6" 333-D Fire Bell. My mom got it from her work for me, which was a nursing home with an Edwards 6500 and 6700 fire panel.

My First pull station was a FireLite BG-12, and my first alarm was. a red Gentex Commander 3 strobe.

It’s funny to see that most people’s first Pull Station was a BG-12.

My Edwards 17 vibrating bell was the very first piece I ever acquired for my collection, which was roughly ten years ago from a garage sale. I still have it today as a static display for an alarm board my stepdad built for me. I’m hoping I can wire this up someday.

What was your first pull station

I don’t have an answer, unfortunately. There are no markings on the device that indicate the voltage.

The rip-off BG12, the first one I wired up was a 4099 by simplex
