 ==== FACP ====
+The building is protected by an Edwards 6500 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in a room behind the front desk. The system is configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by continuous in general alarm.
-This hotel is protected by a large two-stage Edwards 6500 fire alarm system. The panel was located in a room behind the front desk. When the system goes into alarms, the panels make the bells do short blasts every few seconds in first stage, and continuous in general alarm as confirmed by a guest directory in the "If You Hear An Alarm" section of a safety page. It says "This hotel is protected by a two-stage fire alarm system. If you hear a loud, continuous ringing from alarm bells, you must evacuate the building."
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+All notification appliances except for one are the original Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong). They are mounted behind grills in all common areas except for the parkade, pool area, basement and The Fireweed Grill. There is a Notifier KMS-6-24A motor bell (6" gong) on the third floor as a deficiency replacement.
-The main notification appliances are the original Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells from 1987. Most of them are behind metal grills, except for the parking garage, pool area, basement and The Fireweed Grill. A 439D-10AWC broke down in the 2000s on the 3rd floor and was replaced by a Notifier KMS-6-24A motor bell, again, behind a grill.
 === Initiating Devices ===
 ==== Pull Stations ====
+All pull stations are Edwards 275-C111 conventional pull stations. Despite being two-stage, two devices must be activated to go into general alarm.
-Although two-stage, the pull stations are single stage, so two initiating devices have to be activated to go into full alarm. The pull stations were Edwards 275-C111.
 ==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
+All smoke detectors are Edwards 6264B ionization smoke detectors.
-The smoke detectors were Edwards 6264B.
