The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the gymnasium data room. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators

There is an EST QSA-1-S annunciator in the main entrance vestibule, with an EST QS1-CPU-1 display and an SL30 zone annunciation card installed.

Notification Appliances

All indoor notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering).

For outdoor notification, there is an Edwards "Integrity" 757-5A-T horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, 15cd) outside the main entrance. This horn/strobe is being used as a remote strobe, and the horn is disconnected.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
