The first electric fire detector was developed in Brooklyn, NY in 1863 by Alexander Ross, however the first electric fire sensor to see commercial use was designed by another New Yorker, William B. Watkins. By the early 1870's, Watkins had developed remotely monitored fire alarm systems using heat detectors and in 1873 formed the first private fire alarm company (Boston AFA) which surivives to this day as AFA Automatic Fire Alarm) Protective Systems.
