A second indicating means in the second station indicates a third alarm condition by a mode of operation thereof. First circuitry connected to the phone lines effects energization of the second-indicating means should the voltage of the phone lines be lost, and second circuitry connected to the phone lines effects operation of the first indicator in the first mode thereof in response to actuation of the first alarm control assembly and effects operation of the first indicator in the second mode thereof, in response to actuation of the second alarm control system. A switch in the second station is utilized for resetting portions of the second circuitry which effect operation…
