Preventive fire protection reduces the extent of fire damage

Safe and early fire detection and automatically initiated preventive measures are basic elements of fire prevention solutions. To this end, all the various components of fire detection technology must be carefully selected and precisely coordinated..

Fire detectors monitor specific areas of buildings and thus discover fire risks quickly and reliably. Automatic fire detectors are divided into smoke, heat and flame detectors, according to the parameters of the fire being detected. Non-automatic fire detectors serve as fire alarms that can be triggered manually. For maximum protection, the various types of fire detectors are often used in parallel.


Fire alarm system control units evaluate the data sent to them by the fire detectors and control the application of preventive and defensive fire protection measures. This includes, for example, the closing of fire doors, the activation of extinguishing systems, the notification of the fire department, and the activation of fire alarms.
