Home and commercial alarm systems call emergency personnel by reporting the alarm to a central monitoring station. Central station operators receive the signal and call the appropriate authority. The alarm system usually uses the phone lines in a home to report to the central station. Upgrades are available through alarm companies to make your system communicate via cell or remote radio systems in high security applications or in areas that have no phone service.

What is fire alarm system and heat detection system?

They can be the same thing. Fire Alarm Systems are electronic systems which are designed to warn and alert people in the case of a fire. These systems usually contain a central fire alarm control panel, a manual call point and smoke/heat detectors. The heat detectors and detect heat and set off the fire alarm and the smoke detectors detect the smoke from a fire to also set of the fire alarm system. The manual call points are pressed, smashed by someone in order to set off the fire alarms to warn occupants that there is a fire. Heat detectors and usually used in kitchens, bioler houses etc where a lot of smoke/stome is produced, thus stoppping false alarms. Although, you can get seperate heat detection systems which nearly do the same job as fire alarm systems, just with heat detectors.

Is it againt the law to pull a fire alarm when there is no emergency?

Yes, it is illegal to "pull an alarm" unless there is a fire or other emergency. In many places it is a simple misdemeanor, for which you could get up to one year in state prison, although many cases result in lesser plea bargains. However, if anyone is injured or killed while responding to the false alarm, that could be a felony, with a much larger fine and prison sentence. In addition, the victims could easily sue the person responsible for causing the false alarm. Consider also that any false alarm results in the same initial effort and expense as a true alarm, meaning that personnel and equipment are pulled from their ordinary standby locations to respond. If an actual emergency occurs while the units are out at a false alarm, the person causing the false alarm can be legally held liable for the foreseeable consequences of denying timely help to others who need it.
