Fire alarm protection of property

If you are a fire alarm installer and the objective for the fire alarm system is property protection, there needs to be sufficient provision of wired or wireless fire alarm automatic fire detection to ensure that fire is detected at an early stage, that an effective warning is given in time for fire-fighters to take action before unacceptable damage to property occurs and that an indication of the location of the fire is given to those responding to the fire alarm signal. The value of the fire system will depend on a combination of the speed of detection, the delay before fire-fighters are summoned, the attendance time of trained fire-fighters,
and the probable rate of fire spread. If the attendance time of the fire service (whether private or local
authority) is incompatible with the probable rate of fire spread, adequate property protection might not be
achieved purely by automatic fire detection, even if a Category P1 system is installed. The system may,
however, form one component of a “package” of fire protection measures, such as compartmentation (to limit
the extent of fire spread prior to the arrival of the fire service) or an automatic fire suppression system (to control or extinguish the fire prior to the arrival of the fire service).
