Technology Has Revolutionized Commercial Fire Alarm Systems

Fire alarm technology has advanced greatly in the past couple of decades. In the past, fire sensors could send an audible alarm, but it still required a human to call for emergency services. Those days are long gone. Modern fire alert technology can make your business much safer and it could even help save lives.

Instead of relying on one sensor type to detect a fire, these detectors use multiple criteria. It can be a combination of smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, ion, or other indicators. This helps the detector know the difference between a fire and harmless smoke caused by processes like welding.
