	The '''Scotiabank Saddledome''' is a 19,289 seat arena located at 555 Saddledome Rise SE, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The arena is home to the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League. The Calgary Wranglers of the American Hockey League, the Calgary Hitmen of the Western Hockey League, and the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League. The arena was built in 1983, and underwent a renovation in 1994. The fire alarm system is mostly original, however the system was partially upgraded following the 2013 floods.

	~~In April 2023~~, ~~a bill passed for a~~ new arena ~~for the Calgary Flames, and~~ the Saddledome will be demolished ~~once the new arena is built~~.		A new arena, known as Scotia Place, is currently being constructed to replace the Saddledome. The new arena is scheduled to open in 2027; the Saddledome will be demolished shortly after. Fire Alarmpedia staff are predicting Scotia Place will have an Edwards EST4 system.
