Fire alarms are typically found in residential, commercial, and public buildings, often installed on ceilings or high on walls in hallways, kitchens, and near exits. They can be set off by smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide, depending on the type of alarm. To manually trigger a fire alarm, you can pull the manual pull station usually located near exits. However, it's important to only activate alarms in case of an actual fire or emergency to avoid false alarms.

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.

Typically technicians answer the calls that come in from monitored alarms and act accordingly. Calls come in when alarms are set off. Technicians may telephone the residence to confirm whether or not police or other services need to be dispatched, or, under circumstances that the alarm is set to call for assistance immediately upon being set off, make sure the desired services are dispatched to the location.
