A fire alarm system is a collection of initiating devices, appliances, and control panels that detect fires, alert building occupants, manage risk and notify first responders from a centrally controlled and monitored location. Sophisticated fire alarm systems will combine visual and auditory warnings to ensure occupants receive ample time for evacuation.
