Fire Alarm Systems
A fire alarm system is a safety system designed to detect smoke, heat, or fire, and alert occupants through audible and visual signals (such as sirens, bells, or flashing lights), enabling a safe and timely evacuation.
These systems typically include:
Smoke detectors
Heat detectors
Manual call points (pull stations)
Alarm sounders and flashers
Control panels
Fire alarm systems are critical in homes, offices, factories, and public buildings to prevent loss of life and property during fire emergencies.
