The Lake Bonavista Community Association is a small recreation centre in Lake Bonavista, SE Calgary. It was built in 1970, but does not have the original fire alarm system. Almost all of the fire bells and most pull stations are original to the building!
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control panel is a Mircom FA-1000. There's an annunciator at the entrance, but the main panel is located in the facility manager's office. The FA-1000 most likely replaced the original Edwards 2280 in around the 2000s.
Notification Appliances
Most of the notification appliances consist of the original Edwards "Durabel" 6100 (6" gong) vibrating bells from the 1964 era. Some Durabels have been replaced with newer variants (late 1970s-1990 logo, or 1990s logo). In the gymnasium and the entrance, there are Simplex 2901-9723 motor bells replacing failed Durabels.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most of the pull stations consist of the original Edwards 270-SPO. There is a Siemens rebranded Notifier MPS-950B as a replacement somewhere (Adam, please correct if wrong.)
