Due to its sheer speed and devastating destructive power, fire is one of the most serious threats to any commercial enterprise. Over time, damaged business premises can be repaired and stolen goods can be recovered, but items destroyed by fire are gone forever. Uncontrolled fires can completely destroy an entire room's contents within a few minutes, and can also completely burn out a building within a couple of hours.
The first step towards preventing a fire is to timely and properly identify the incident, raise the alarm, and then promptly notify emergency response professionals. This is the purpose of a fire detection and alarm system. Depending on the specific characteristics of the protected space, a variety of system types and options are available.
