About planning the system 1.1 When is a fire alarm needed? Fire detection and alarm systems are installed mainly to protect human life. The early detection of smoke sensor alerts people to evacuate the building in an orderly manner. Alarm devices provide a sufficient signal to warn people. Fire detection and alarm systems are also installed on premises where stock, machinery or other property need to be protected. A fire detection system gives an early indication, making it possible to start and finalise the rescue work quickly, thus allowing normal activities to continue without delay. If getting a building permit requires installation of a fire alarm system, a sufficient degree of coverage must be provided. The extent of such coverage is
