# Fire Alarm
## Info
### Fire Command Center (FCC)
> [!info] Also Known As
> Emergency Command Center (ECC)
> Fire Alarm Command Center (FACC)
> Fire Alarm Command Room (FACR)
## Sequence
### 1. Preparation
1. Initial the OneNote
2. Read about the project specifications and construction type
3. Find Fire Alarm plans (if present)
4. Locate the following rooms:
* Fire Command Center (FCC)
* Generator Room
* Fire Pump Room
* Elevator Control Rooms
* Elevator Shafts
* Stairwells
### 2. Takeoff
#### Backbone
Put all backbone takeoff in the `Area` of the Fire Command Center.
Include [[sleeving]] as necessary.
##### Fire Command Center

##### Generator Room
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`GEN, ELEV, FIRE PUMP & FA ROOM ASSEMBLIES`/`GENERATOR ROOM ...`
##### Fire Pump Room

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`GEN, ELEV, FIRE PUMP & FA ROOM ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO ELEV SHAFT ...`
Measure Length from the most distant points of the FACR and each shaft.
Input adder length to reach the bottom of the pit
(Minimum 15ft adder).
```
| 1 shaft | 2 shafts |
| || +--------+ +--------+ || | || +--------+ || +--------+ || |
| || | Elev 1 | | Elev 2 | || | || | Elev 1 | || | Elev 2 | || |

`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`GEN, ELEV, FIRE PUMP & FA ROOM ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO ELEV CONTROL RM ...`
* Measure the Horizontal and Vertical Distance from the FACR to the ECR.
* Use Typicals for the vertical riser. (Ex// 10' per floor)
* Add [[sleeving]] as necessary.
##### FACR to Stairwells
This is for the Flow/Tamper modules in the stairwells
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`GEN, ELEV, FIRE PUMP & FA ROOM ASSEMBLIES`/`FACR TO STAIRWELLS ...`
* Measure from the furthest end of FACR to the furthest end of the stairwell to find length
##### Terminal Cabinets
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`TERMINAL CABINET`/`ACE D ACCESSORY CABINET ENCLOSURE (2) 2" ...`
* _Garden Style, High Density:_ (2) 1"C
* _High Rise:_ (2) 2"C
Horizontal:
* Measure from the Fire Command room to all electrical rooms
Vertical:
* Use 10ft Riser in Typical
* Add [[sleeving]] as necessary.
##### Annunciator Panels
> [!info] Also Known As
> * Fire Alarm Annunciator (FAA)
> * Fire Alarm Annunciator Panel (FAAP)
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`ANNUNCIATORS`/`REMOTE SERIAL ANNUNCIATOR ...`
* Measure from the Fire Command Room to FAA or Lobby
#### Devices
##### Smoke Detectors
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level.
##### Pull Stations
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level
and every exterior exit.
##### Flow-Tamper Switches
No free air. if wood frame, take off as EMT.
_Design Build:_
Count every stairwell at every level.
##### Magnetic Door Holders
`COMMON ASSEMBLIES`/`FIRE ALARM & DAS SYSTEMS`/`INDICATING DEVICES WITH WIRE - ...`/`MAGNETIC DOOR HOLDER - ...`
_Design Build:_
Count every set of double doors.
(Typical of elevator lobbies and corridors)
##### Speaker Strobes
_Design Build:_
* Count every 75 ft,
* measure with circles on Bluebeam
* or divide relevant SF area by 4415
* $\pi(\frac{75}{2})^2 \approx 4415$
* every elevator lobby,
* and every BOH room on the first floor and garage levels.
##### Firefighter Phone System
* firefighter phone jacks
* fire warden station
* fire phone cabinet
Communicates directly with FACR.
Not related to responder radio.
