What Is Fire Alarm Installation?
Fire alarm installation is the process of installing a fire alarm system and other detection devices within a residential or commercial property.
Fire alarm systems usually involve multiple components working together to sound a warning in case of a fire outbreak. Most fire alarm systems are programmed to detect smoke or heat. While fire alarm systems can work automatically, they can also be set off manually. This manual mode works best in large facilities or building. If fire is detected on one side of the building, the person detecting the fire can manually trigger the fire alarm. This then alerts the entire building of the fire and creates ample time for people to evacuate the building.
Sophisticated fire alarm systems can go a step further and automatically undertake tasks that will make it harder for the fire to spread. These tasks include closing off air ducts to prevent smoke from moving through the air ducts to other parts of the building and sealing off doors to prevent smoke and fire from spreading.
