Fire Alarms

Installation  |  Service  |  Inspection

Fire Alarm Systems consist of multiple devices working together to detect and warn people to evacuate a building through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, or other emergencies are present. These alarms may be activated automatically from smoke detectors and heat detectors; they may also be activated via manual fire alarm activation devices such as manual pull stations. Alarms can be either motorized bells or wall mountable sounders or horns. They can also be speaker strobes that sound an alarm followed by a voice evacuation message that warns people inside the building not to use the elevators. Fire Alarms are a Life Safety System, and their job is to evacuate the building and dispatch the Fire Department.
