What is a Fire Alarm System?

Overview

This video explains what a Fire Alarm System is and how it plays a critical role in safety and protection in buildings and industrial environments.

A fire alarm system is a network of devices designed to detect fire hazards such as smoke, heat, or flames and alert occupants immediately.

When a fire is detected, the system activates audible and visual alarms (sirens, lights) to warn people and may also notify emergency services or trigger safety systems like sprinklers.

The system typically includes detectors, a control panel, and alarm devices, all working together to provide early warning and reduce risks to life and property.
