Why Do You Need Fire Detection?
Fire detection encompasses devices like smoke detectors or heat sensors, which you often see mounted on ceilings.
These devices form a network, with the main goal of spotting a fire early on, to take action before things get out of control. They’ll communicate with a building’s control panel to activate an alarm system to ensure a safe evacuation.
You might think that installing a simple smoke alarm is good enough, however, there’s a wide range of reasons why a particular device should or should not be selected.
This will largely depend on your specific use case, which is why we’re here…
