These systems include various components such as smoke detectors, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems, which work together to alert occupants and minimize damage. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial for the effectiveness of fire protection systems. Compliance with local fire codes and regulations ensures that these systems function properly and provide adequate safety measures for people and property in case of a fire emergency.
