Housed in the center is the emergency communications system designed by Eagle Signal Corporation. It is designed to provide more effective fire alarm receipt and dispatch.

The Buffalo system includes five major components provided by Eagle Signal: a citizen voice emergency communication system, a printer and display system, a voice alert and dispatch system, a map display system, and consoles and enclosures. Eagle Signal supplied all hardware, software, installation supervision, and training, while Signacon Controls, Inc. made the installation.
