Fire Detection Systems are More than just detection systems

Fire Detection Systems are More than Just Detection Systems

Fire detection systems have evolved considerably in recent decades. Sophisticated smoke and gas detection sensors, wireless connectivity, and a range of notification accessories create a unified network that detects trouble at the earliest instance while notifying building occupants instantly.

These systems also direct evacuations while contacting the local fire emergency agencies for immediate response.

Fire detection systems are not simply the old “break glass and run” mechanisms of the past.

Notifier Fire Detection Devices

One company, Notifier by Honeywell, draws upon Honeywell's long history of technological innovations in atmospheric monitoring. With integrated technology, systems include the most sophisticated smoke and gas detection devices, notification equipment that includes alarms, strobe lights and horns, and more designed to protect building occupants.

Central Fire Monitoring Systems

As soon as one sensor identifies a problem, the fire detection system transmits the information to a monitoring station. Security personnel can quickly determine the location of the emergency and direct people away from the danger. The system simultaneously notifies the local fire department. Loudspeakers and LED messages direct occupants to the appropriate areas for evacuation.

Connected annunciators placed near the entrances to large buildings provide information to arriving firefighters about the location and status of the emergency.

Versatility

Fire alert systems may combine with the building’s access control network to alert building occupants to the possibility of entry by an unauthorized individual. If entry security is breached, the notification systems can alert central control personnel who may then initiate evacuation or direct occupants to a secure area. Closed circuit TVs that are used to monitor fire emergencies can also work to monitor intruders.
