There are two kinds of fire alarm systems: non-addressable fire alarms, and the newer addressable, or smart system. The most basic fire alarm initiating device is a manual pull station, and the most common is a smoke detector. The market also includes heat detectors which, although the slowest to react to a fire, are a viable option when the environment does not allow for the use of a smoke detector. Bringing buildings “up to code” is a major part of the fire protection/life safety industry since it’s considered a necessity, not a luxury, in the commercial building space. Mass notification systems have also evolved with text messaging, email and smartphone notifications alerting customers of fire.
