The building is protected by a Simplex 4008 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located at the main entrance. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

All notification appliances are System Sensor "SpectrAlert" P1224MCA horn/strobes (red, wall mount). They are set on 30 candela, and electromechanical tone.
