We have a building with a container fire causing excessive heat and smoke. The entire fire alarm system did not activate; only the floor alarm went off, and there was no elevator recall. The system is outdated, disabled, and in silence mode. There are many issues with the panel, and we did not feel comfortable leaving it like this.
