What is fire/life safety?

Fire/life safety technology encompasses systems and equipment designed to protect occupants and property from fire and other life-threatening emergencies. This includes fire detection (smoke detectors, heat detectors, flame detectors), fire suppression (sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, clean agent systems), fire alarm systems (notification appliances, control panels), emergency communication systems (voice evacuation, two-way communication), and smoke control systems (HVAC modifications, smoke dampers). These technologies are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to detect fires early, alert occupants, suppress fires, and facilitate safe evacuation.
