Are fire alarms and smoke detectors the same thing?
The terms can sometimes mean the same thing: a self-contained smoke detector with a built-in fire alarm.However, they are technically different and can be obtained in many types.A fire alarm SYSTEM can contain smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations and other sensors related to fire protection, including switches that say the fire sprinklers or the commercial kitchen fire extinguisher has activated. All of these sensors and switches are wired to a fire alarm control panel that monitors them constantly for electrical trouble or for alarm conditions, relaying the alarm message to bells, sirens, strobe lights and maybe even calling the fire department.Most people say "smoke detector" when they mean "self-contained smoke alarm". The smoke alarm does not usually connect to anything other than maybe another smoke alarm or two, so they all make noise when there is a fire, but someone still has to remember to call the fire department.

What happens to automatic doors when a fire alarm is activated?
Automatic door systems and the fire alarm systems are linked together. Automatic doors are held open by strong magnetic type devices, that are activated(turned on) during normal activity. When the alarm is activated, the devices are shut off and the doors close. These doors are programmed to close in an effort to keep smoke and flames from spreading too far(these doors are usually strongly fire resistant.) Once the alarm is shut off/reset, the devices will be activated again and will remain open once somebody opens the doors back up. Another type of "automatic door" is a fire door that slams shut (springs, counterbalances, gravity, etc) when the heat-sensitive link melts, or when a fire alarm is activated. These heavy doors are NOT intended to be opened during a fire for means of escape, so there must be other doors accessible for people to escape the area safely.
