Frank McCool Arena is an indoor hockey arena owned by the city of Calgary. It is located in Lake Bonavista, and shares a parking lot with the Lake Bonavista Community Association. The arena was built in 1978, but the system was installed in the 2000s.

System Specifications

FACP

The arena is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located next to the main entrance. The panel was installed in approximately 2006, and it is unknown what it replaced. When in alarm, the panel codes all bells and horns to code 3, and synchronizes the strobes.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are a mix of Mircom BL-6A (6” gong) and BL-10A (10” gong) motor bells. These are seen in the lobby, and the main arena. The locker rooms, which were renovated in 2016, have Mircom “Select-A-Horn/Strobe” FHS-340R horn/strobes (red), likely set to Broadband. This is a sort of a code violation, since the sound must be uniform.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Mircom MS-401AD addressable single-action “tab” pull stations. These were installed between 2006 and 2018. The pull station by the rear exit has its label missing.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Mircom MIX-2251B addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the facility.
