What is a "fire alarm"?
A fire alarm is a safety device designed to detect smoke, heat, or fire and alert people to evacuate or take action. It typically includes sensors that detect signs of fire and a loud alarm to warn those nearby. Fire alarms are commonly found in homes, offices, and public buildings. Some systems are connected to fire departments or monitoring services, allowing for immediate assistance if necessary.
