‘’’’Calaway Park’’’’ is a large amusement park located just west of Calgary, in Springbank, Alberta. This page will cover the Calaway Cafe,which is the main cafeteria in the park, and possibly the only building in the park with a fire alarm system. The building was built in 1982, when the park opened. The system was replaced in 2017, however.
System Specifications (current system)
FACP
The building is protected by a Fire-Lite CMP-2402 conventional fire alarm system. This is unconfirmed, but the CMP is the only conventional panel Fire-Lite offers in Canada. This panel has no coding options, so the system does continuous in alarm.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong). These were not replaced when the system was upgraded, and are original.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are Fire-Lite FI-MPS-SC conventional single-action “T-bar” pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are possibly System Sensor i3 C2W-BA conventional smoke detectors in the building.
