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.
