Melcor YMCA at Crowfoot is a large recreation centre located at 8100 John Laurie Boulevard Northwest, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building houses a pool, a fitness centre, and shares a building with the Crowfoot Arena, which has a separate entrance. The Crowfoot Arena was built in the late 1980s when the original Crowfoot Rec Centre was built, and had a system upgrade in 1991 after the facility closed. The YMCA was added on in 1996, and officially opened in 1997. The system was partially upgraded in 2007; most notification appliances are original.

System Specifications (2007-present)[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the Crowfoot Arena entrance vestibule. The system runs Mircom’s CLIP addressable protocol, and the system coding is likely continuous.
