Koorsen Fire & Security explains the four key functions of a fire alarm system: “In the simplest terms, the role of a fire alarm system is to detect fires and alert both building occupants and emergency personnel from a centrally monitored and controlled location. These systems also self-monitor, identifying where within the building (s ...
