RE: Location of fire alarm panel
The standard says this..."A fire command center shall be provided at a building entrance or other location approved by the authority having jurisdiction. The fire command center shall provide a communications center for the arriving fire department and shall provide for control and display of the status of detection, alarm, and communications systems. The fire command center shall be permitted to be physically combined with other building operations and security centers as permitted by the authority having jurisdiction. Operating controls for use by the fire department shall be clearly marked." So check with your local fire department about any local fire codes that may be more specific in where you should put yours. I hope this helps.
