Ionization smoke detectors don't detect the fire, but instead the particles in the smoke from the fire. Since smoke typically occurs in the early stages of a fire, this method of detection has been shown to be highly effective.
If the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) will be located in an area that is not monitored at all times by qualified security or other personnel, NFPA 72 requires that it have a locking panel door to prevent inadvertent or malicious interference with its operation.
Fire sprinklers reduce the average property loss by 71 percent per fire. Along with smoke alarms, they can reduce the risk of injury or death in a house fire by 82 percent.
Fire alarm systems started out very simple, with people yelling or whistling when there was a fire. This was at least partially organized into the first first alarm system in the US in 1658, when eight "firemen" were employed to walk around New York at night checking for fires.
Fire safety experts recommend mounting fire extinguishers on the wall so they're readily accessible and in plain view. If you prefer to tuck them out of sight, invest in luminescent labels that will help you quickly locate them in an emergency.
