Safeway (Dalhousie): Difference between revisions

From FireAlarmPedia
(Well, the 6632 is no more after 25 years of service. A moment of silence for the now-gone system. Typical Simplex 4007ES Safeway system. XD)

'''Safeway''' is a chain of grocery stores in Alberta. This particular location is in Dalhousie, NW Calgary. It is officially called Safeway Dalhousie Station, due to being adjacent to the Dalhousie station on the CTrain line. It was built in 1996, and the fire alarm system was recently replaced, and only a few pull stations remain. The store is in a large plaza, however only the Safeway is protected by a fire alarm system.

The fire alarm panel is a Simplex 4007ES, specifically 4007-9202 (Platinum cabinet). It is located in the entrance on the right. It replaced the original EST 6632 in 2021 because Safeway likes Simplex, and because the 6632 was large, there is drywall covering the 6632's space. The permit issued for this upgrade was "Fire Alarm System Modification - Replace Fire Alarm Panel and select initiating/signaling devices." on February 12, 2021.
