 ==== FACP ====
+The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main lobby. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.
-The fire alarm control panel is a large EST (GE) QuickStart QS4. It was installed in 2013, due to the floods. It is located in the lobby of the building. The panel cabinet is large because it most likely replaced an Edwards 6500. Despite the system being addressable, the system is part addressable, part conventional.
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+===== Lobby =====
-The notification appliances vary and depend on the part of the building. The lobby has EST Genesis G1-HDVM (white, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes from 2013 because the original alarms in there were destroyed from the flood. The part that has the animal stalls has a mix of Edwards 439D-10AWC and 439D-6AWC vibrating bells from the 1980s-90s. It is unknown what the alarms are in the other parts.
+All notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1-HDVM horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd).
+===== Stables =====
+The notification appliances are a mix of Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) and Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong).

-The pull stations vary on different parts of the building. The part where the animal stalls are has EST (GE) SIGA-270 pull stations from 2013, installed after the flood. The lobby where the horn/strobes are has Tyco/Grinnell rebranded Notifier MPS-950B. Why they are there is unknown.
