Different Types of Brooklyn Park Fire Alarms


Fire, when properly controlled, can be very useful. Unfortunately, when left uncontrolled, fire can be a very destructive force. Acting too late in the case of your Brooklyn Park commercial property can not only cause the loss of your property, but can also cause the loss of life as well. That’s why it’s so necessary to have Brooklyn Park fire alarms installed.

Fire alarms in Brooklyn Park are designed to alert employees, residents, tenants, customers and clients on the possibility of a fire in their business, multi-housing facility or intuitional building. However, it’s important to choose the right type of Brooklyn Park fire alarm for your needs, as certain ones are more suited for certain places and situation.

Here are the different types of Brooklyn Park fire alarms. And while many use the term “smoke alarm” interchangeably with “fire alarm,” but smoke alarms detect smoke and not the actual fire. These types of alarms come often in two types:

Photoelectric
Photoelectric alarms “see” the smoke, and as Brooklyn Park fire alarms, are very responsive to smoldering fires or those that generate a lot of smokes. Photoelectric alarms are perfect for areas that have lots of items like PVC or foam. Generally though, these types of Brooklyn park fire alarms are more expensive than the next type.

Ionization
Ionization alarms detect invisible particles caused by combustion. Instead of seeing the smoke, ionization alarms feel the smoke, and can best detect flaming fires with no visible smoke. These types of Brooklyn Park fire alarms should not be placed in kitchens and similar areas due to false alarm susceptibility. Since they do contain a bit of radioactive material, it’s best to be careful.
