Fire alarm and extinguishing systems
Fire alarm systems:
They are fire alarm systems that detect and control fire and are divided into two systems:
- The regular system:
It is a system that relies on a set of detectors connected in a specific area that gives a warning about this area, through which the security man moves to it to deal with the fire properly.
- Addressed System:
It is a more accurate and specific system for the fire area and depends on a set of detectors connected that takes the numbers and names of the places in which the detector is located so that when a fire appears on the control panel, the detector number, the name of the area and the time of the fire appear.
Several types of fire detectors are installed in specific places in the facility, and which issue an alarm of a fire in an area, which is:
- smoke detector.
- Heat detector.
- smoke beam detector.
- Gas detector.
- Flame detector.
- Multi-Detector.
Each of these detectors is connected to the fire alarm panels located in the linkage units that monitor and control.

Fire extinguishing systems:
“Extinguishing system” means a group of devices designed to provide protection from fire, or to extinguish or detect it.
Extinguishing systems designed to use water:
- Automatic water sprinkler system:
in which water flows from sprinkler heads installed in the ceiling under calculated pressure and flow to cover the fire area.
- Portable manual extinguishers.
- Foam Extinguishing System:
It is an integrated installation in which concentrated foam is mixed with water in a foam mixing station, then sent to pre-installed pumps as required, which pump it into the fire area to extinguish it.
- Water Mist Extinguishing System:
It is a system that operates automatically and manually, and is connected to a network of fixed pipes with special sprinklers that spray a mist of water that replaces the oxygen, thus lowering the temperature to control or extinguish the fire.
Extinguishing systems designed to use gas and chemicals:
- Carbon Dioxide System (CO2):
This system is applied to areas devoid of people due to the toxicity of the gas to humans.
- Clean Media System FM-200 & NOVEC:
Gases that do not conduct electricity, quickly evaporate, and leave no sediment. These are halocarbon compounds and inert gases, such as nitrogen and argon, or a mixture of these gases.
- Restaurant protection system:
with wet chemicals.
