Fire Alarm System Types

There are several types of fire alarm systems, each created to serve a certain purpose. These different fire alarms are differentiated by a single letter. We've described each fire alarm system below. Are any of these present in your Cleveland business?

M Fire Alarm Systems
The "M" here stands for "manual," which is how these fire alarm systems are activated. M alarms are usually placed in locations throughout a building, as well as near fire escape doors and staircases.

L Fire Alarm Systems
These systems, which are designed to preserve life (hence the "L"), are set to automatically alert those inside a home or building to the potential danger of a fire, so that an escape can be made before the fire spreads.

P Fire Alarm Systems
Tasked with notifying local firefighters as well as alerting those inside a structure to the fire, the P fire alarm system is designed not only to protect life, but also property (which is where the "P" comes from). By alerting the proper authorities to the fire before it grows, a firefighting company could possibly reach a Cleveland home or business in time to extinguish the fire before a large amount of damage and property loss occurs.
