Lake Bonavista Community Association

The Lake Bonavista Community Association is a small recreation centre in Lake Bonavista, SE Calgary. It was built in 1970, but does not have the original fire alarm system. Almost all of the fire bells and most pull stations are original to the building!

System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm control panel is a Mircom FA-1000. There's an annunciator at the entrance, but the main panel is located in the facility manager's office. The FA-1000 most likely replaced an Edwards 2280 or custom 6500 around the 2000s. The "SIGNAL SILENCE" button has the writing "Bell" above it, as well as the NACs saying "bells"

Notification Appliances

Most of the notification appliances consist of the original Edwards "Durabel" 6100D (6" gong) vibrating bells from the 1964 era. Some Durabels have been replaced with newer variants (late 1970s-1990 logo, or 1990s logo). In the gymnasium and the entrance, there are Simplex 2901-9723 motor bells replacing failed Edwards bells. There is also a painted-over Edwards 881D-AW "Adaptahorn" in the dressing room hallway. It is unknown if it is still in use.

Pull Stations
