The fire panel is a Simplex 4100ES InfoAlarm installed in 2015. It is in the left entrance where you get the carts. It replaced an older 1980s-90s Edwards 6616, possibly after a CPU fail. Despite the panel being addressable, the system is set up in a non-addressable manner. The panel has 16 zones. The store is currently getting renovated and includes the part with the 4100ES panel, so the 4100ES may or may not be replaced during these renovations.  
The new fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4007ES/4010ES or an addressable 4100ES. It was installed in August 2020, replacing a conventional Simplex 4100ES InfoAlarm during renovations.

Some have been installed in new locations, such as the wall at the front of the store, and the wall by the pharmacy, as well as one pointing towards the produce.

Former System Specifications

FACP

The fire panel was a Simplex 4100ES InfoAlarm installed in 2015. It replaced an older 1980s-90s Edwards 6616, possibly after a CPU fail. Despite the panel being addressable, the system is set up in a non-addressable manner. The panel has 16 zones. The store is currently getting renovated and includes the part with the 4100ES panel, so it was replaced with an addressable Simplex panel in August 2020.

Notification Appliances

Most of the notification appliances were EST 757H-15PS "PowerSaver" Integrity horn/strobes from the early 2000s. They were kept from the Edwards 6616 system, and they likely replaced older Edwards horn/strobes. All of these horn/strobes were replaced with Simplex TrueAlert horn/strobes in July 2020.

Pull Stations

This store had a great variety of pull stations, due to the age of the store and number of pulls that were defective. There were two Edwards 275-C111 pulls by the right entrance, possibly original. The left entrance where the panel is, there was a Simplex MS-301C pull station on the left of the doors, possibly installed in the early-mid 2000s replacing an Edwards pull. There were two Tyco/Grinnell rebranded Notifier MPS-950B pulls, one in the backroom and one by the juice, in which that one replaced a Notifier MPS-950B in 2018. There was an Edwards 270-SPO in the backroom as well, unknown if original as the logo is hard to see from the backroom doors, the only non "tab" pull station. There was a Mircom MS-401 installed in 2018 at the backroom doors where you can see the 270-SPO. It replaced a Tyco/Grinnell pull.

Automatic Detection Devices

Though there are heat and smoke detectors, it is unknown what they are.
