Fire Alarm Systems
      A fire alarm system is a network of interconnected components designed to detect the early signs of a fire, like smoke, heat, or flame, and alert occupants through audible or visual signals to enable safe evacuation. These systems include initiating devices (smoke/heat detectors, manual pull stations), a central control panel (the "brain" of the system), notification appliances (sirens, strobes), a reliable power supply, and may also integrate with other building systems like sprinklers, ventilation, and emergency lighting. The core functions of a fire alarm system are to detect, alert, monitor, and control, with the ultimate goal of saving lives and minimizing property damage.
