Hudson’s Bay was Canada’s longest-running chain of department stores. This particular store was located inside Freiman Mall, at 73 Rideau Street, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The store was built in 1983, and closed in 2025. The fire alarm system was upgraded in the early 2020s.


System Specifications (2020s-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-3030C addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Notifier’s FlashScan addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.
This panel replaced a Notifier NFS2-640C, which in turn replaced an Edwards Custom 6500.


Annunciators

There is a Notifier LCD-160 annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.


Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10” gong).
The original portion and atrium have Edwards “Durabel” 6100D vibrating bells (6” gong).
The atrium has an Ademco AD-10 vibrating bell (10” gong).
Some areas have Edwards MB6-24 motor bells (6” gong) for additional audible coverage.


Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Notifier N-MPS-2A addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.
