The fire alarm system is functional but limited in its expandability.
A newer digital system should be installed as part of any major
renovation project.
A digital system could individually interrogate any individual device
leading to more rapid response to the specific location of the alarm,
and not just to the zone, as is the case now. Furthermore, such a system
could allow signaling to also send coded messages to the phone pager
system.
The main console of the system should allow for expandability to
accommodate the additions to the building.
We estimate the cost of such a system to be about $55,000.00 for the
present building.
