Most Elon University buildings are equipped with fire panel alarms. These units serve as controlling components of each building's fire alarm system. Fire panel alarms receive information from devices designed to detect and report fires, monitors their operational integrity, and transmits critical information necessary for first responders in the event of a fire emergency. In addition, fire alarm pull stations are located in buildings throughout campus. These stations can activate fire alarms once a lever is pulled or by smoke, heat, or other sensors.
