Fire can be a deadly weapon no matter where you’re located, making staying protected a vital safety tool. Since many businesses get shut down due to a lack of fire alarms, it’s best to learn your options and stay prepared. Since selecting and maintaining the correct alarm could save a life, the professionals at Union, KY’s AAV Security Systems are sharing different options for you to consider. 

3 Types of Fire Alarms

Heat Detectors

They work best in smaller, more confined spaces such as a local office rather than a large, commercialized building with multiple floors.

Ionization Smoke Alarms

These fire systems detect danger quickly, making them an excellent option for detecting fast, raging fires. They work through radiation — as it passes through an ionization chamber, a constant current is emitted between the system’s electrodes. Smoke entering the ionization chamber interrupts the alarm’s normal usage, causing it to go off at a rapid rate. No matter how big or small your building, these fire systems are an excellent option for staying protected.

Photoelectric Smoke Alarms

Photoelectric fire alarms use light to detect the presence of smoke. Combining electric systems with state-of-the-art light sources, they detect smoke when beams of light cross the chamber path. Best for fires at a medium burn, it detects them quickly, going off immediately after smoke particles are detected. When a fire starts smoldering, expect your system to spring into action.
