The Scotiabank Saddledome is an indoor arena in SE Calgary, near Stampede Park. It is home of the Calgary Hitmen, the Calgary Flames, and the Calgary Roughnecks. It was built in 1983 as the Olympic Saddledome from 1983 to 1995, Canadian Airlines Saddledome from 1995-2000, the Pengrowth Saddledome from 2000-2010, and finally its current name since October 2010. The current system is from late June 2013 after the Calgary floods in 2013. There are also lots of old goodies on this system!

The Saddledome is set to be demolished in 2024. Users Simplex NimrodES and YYCsFireAlarmNimrod will be getting alarms from the system!

System Specifications

FACP

The current panel is an EST3 installed in June 2013, after an older EST3 was damaged by the water, and before that replaced an Edwards 8500 EVAC from 1983. The panel has a fire phone, and a voice evac mic also used for general paging! It is located under the first deck, by the loading dock and where the Zamboni comes out. The system is two-stage, and is voice evac according to some managers. The EST3 prior to the one now had a chime on march time as general alarm.

Notification Appliances

The main notification appliance in the hallways and some areas of the seating bowl are very rare Edwards Adaptatone 5547-15R re-entrant speakers made by Atlas. Most of these speakers are original from 1983, but some are from the 1990s. The concourse and club level and suites have Enforcer ceiling speakers normally seen as paging speakers in stores, installed in 1994. One has been replaced with an EST 965-1A-8RW ceiling speaker. There are also EST Genesis G1-HDVM (white, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes down in the event level and where the panel is installed in 2013, possibly replacing Adaptahorns from 1983 that were damaged. The arena itself has Atlas GA-30T paging horns for fire alarm use, original from 1983. They are hanging from the catwalk.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are mainly Edwards 270-GAOs from 1983. Some have their "PULL IN CASE OF FIRE" painted over, and some have been replaced with many varients from 1983-1990s. The concourse has 270-GAOs from 1994, some replaced. Other replacement pulls are EST SIGA-270P pulls from 2000s onwards, mostly from 2013 in the lower parts due to flooding. There has been a recently installed SIGA-270P by the East Entrance.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed, probably due to flame cannons in arena so that it doesn't go off.
