What is a fire alarm and automatic fire extinguishing system and what actual problem do they solve?
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
A fire alarm system is a network of interconnected devices designed to detect and alert people to the presence of smoke, fire, or other emergencies, allowing them to take action to evacuate the building and contact emergency services. These devices can include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual pull stations, as well as audible and visual alarms.
FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
An automatic fire extinguishing system is a type of fire suppression system that is designed to automatically detect and extinguish fires in buildings, vehicles, or other enclosed spaces. This system uses a combination of heat sensors, smoke detectors, and/or flame detectors to detect a fire, and then releases an extinguishing agent such as water, foam, gas, or powder to extinguish the fire.
