Fire detection is the process of identifying a fire outbreak and alerting the occupants of the building/space and emergency personnel before the fire causes excessive damage. The fire is however detected by smart sensors which act the same way as humans sense the presence of fire through any particular sensory receptor or a combination of them.
The first sensor ever used to detect fire only assessed the temperature (also known as thermal detectors) of a certain space before raising a fire alarm. The use of a single sensor to detect fire made them susceptible to false alarms as a result of which sensors which could detect more than one environmental parameter were developed. Today the sensors used in a fire alarm are designed to detect flame, heat, smoke, carbon monoxide among others.
