DESIGN PROCESS A fire alarm system should be designed to provide early detection and warning of a fire. The designer must consider the size, complexity and use of the building, and the degree of detection and warning desired. While the design of fire alarm systems is normally regulated by building codes, the level of protection specified is usually a minimum and the designer should consider providing higher levels of protection where circumstances indicate the need. Before looking at the details of the alarm system, it is necessary to understand some of the concepts that are used to assist the system designer. Buildings are divided up into sections in three ways as far as fire safety engineering is concerned; fire compartments, detection zones and alarm zones. Fire Compartments A fire compartment is a part of a building that is separated from the rest of the building by a fire resistant structure so as to limit the spread of fire within the building. The requirements for designing a building and hence its fire compartments, are defined in building regulations. It is necessary, however, for the designer of fire detection and alarm system to be familiar with the design of the building, in particular the position and extent of its fire compartments. Detection Zones Fire detection zones are essentially a convenient way of dividing up a building to assist in quickly locating the position of a fire. The zone boundaries are not physical features of the building, although it is normal to make the zone boundary coincide with walls, floors and specifically fire compartments. The size and position of the detection zones will therefore tend to be defendant on the shape of the buildings, but will also depend on what the building is used for and to some extent the number of people the building is expected to contain at any one time. Alarm Zones Alarm zones are only needed in buildings where operation of the alarms needs to be different in certain parts of the buildings. If the only requirement is to activate all the alarm sounders to provide a single common evacuate signal once a fire is detected, then alarm zones are not needed, the whole building is one alarm zone. For more complex buildings where it is necessary to operate alarm devices differently in parts of the building, then the building should be divided into alarm zones such that all of the alarm devices in one alarm zone operate in the same way.
