A fire alarm system is a building safety infrastructure designed to detect hazards like smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide and promptly alert occupants and emergency services. Systems may include smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, notification appliances (horns, strobes), and backup power, all connected to a central Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP)

Types of Fire Alarm Systems

• Conventional Systems – Zonal wiring and basic detection, ideal for small buildings

• Addressable (Intelligent) Systems – Identify individual detectors for faster fault/location pinpointing 

• Wireless or Hybrid Systems – Flexible installation with fewer cables, great for retrofits or historic buildings

DIY setups may seem cheaper, but code-compliant fire alarm systems require:

• Compliance with NFPA 72, NEC, and local codes for installation and maintenance

• Correct system design including detector placement and notification zones

• Reliable wiring, grounding, and redundant power capabilities

• Proper commissioning, testing, and maintenance per local requirements
