The fire alarm panel is a Simplex 4007ES. It was installed in 2017, and it is set up in a non-addressable manner. The main panel is located in the main entrance. The 4007ES replaced an EST 6616.

Bonus Information

One of the original fire bells (Edwards 439D-10AWC) was wired to a doorbell button as well as the EST 6616, and when the doorbell button was pressed, the bell would ring softly to indicate a delivery. It was probably on 12VDC. It is unknown if the horn/strobe there goes off for deliveries, but it is in the same place as the bell that was there, as all the bells were replaced in 2017.
