That IS a M14 tape printer. It's not a fire alarm inker.
The tape printer in a Model 14 attaches to the base with two
thumbscrews and sliding contacts. It can be easily removed.
Teletype made at least a keyboard base and an RO base. This
seems to be a variant on the RO base made by Horni Signal Co,
for firehouse use.
I've put a new base under a M14 printer unit. See

That's what a printer unit looks like by itself.
That's exactly what the firehouse unit is.
