-The fire alarm panel is a brand new Simplex 4007ES (4007-9202, platinum cabinet). It was installed in 2021 as the replacement panel for the original EST QuickStart QS1. The cause of the replacement is unknown, but the permit issued for this was "fire alarm upgrades". The panel is located right at the entrance.

-The notification appliances were kept from the original fire alarm system, and are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products. They are a mix of EST  G1R-HDVM (red, wall mount, multi-candela no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST G1R-V75 (red, wall mount, 75cd, no FIRE) remote strobes.  Usually there are two horn/strobes and two remote strobes on each opposite side of a pole, though some are on walls. Some have the EST logo and some do not. The McDonald's has a G1R-HDVM installed in 2019 after the remodel, but it's upside down. Most of the notification appliances are original to the store.
