The building is protected by an Edwards iO1000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the automotive entrance vestibule, and is mounted inside an EST QuickStart QS4 cabinet. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

The iO1000 was installed around in June 2023, replacing an EST QuickStart QS4, which in turn the replaced the original variant in 2012 after CPU issues.
