FACP
The building is protected by a Notifier NFS-320C hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the electrical room. Most of the school is set up as conventional, while the stairwells and portables are addressable. The system runs Notifier’s FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.
Annunciators
There is a Notifier ACM-24AT LED annunciator at the entrance.

There is one Edwards 270-SPOW conventional pull station as a deficiency replacement.
Other deficiency replacements are EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations, with the modules removed to be conventional.
The portables have Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Edwards 281C conventional 135 degree fixed temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors throughout the building.
There is one Edwards 281B-PL conventional 135 degree fixed temperature/rate-of-rise heat detector as a deficiency replacement.
