Historical information

When the COA took over the management of the Armadale Arena in 2008 this portable PA system was found in a cupboard. It had been used by the previous management group to sound emergency alarms for evacuations and to instruct patrons on how to evacuate.
When the City took over the building they installed a emergency evacuation system.
