Fire detection systems play a critical role in identifying early signs of fire, such as smoke, heat, flames, or combustion gases. Fire alarms are an essential building safety device, quickly alerting people to potential emergencies. This enables prompt firefighting measures, helping to limit the fire's impact. In the case of carbon monoxide alarms, timely detection can trigger alerts that encourage occupants to escape.
