Fire Alarm & Detection Systems in Pune

Early warning saves lives. FIRENET installs, programs, tests and maintains conventional and addressable fire alarm systems for offices, factories, hospitals, schools and housing societies.

Detect early, alert everyone, act fast

A fire alarm system detects smoke or heat, or lets anyone raise the alarm with a manual call point, and then warns everyone in the building through hooters, sounders and strobes. Connected systems can also shut down air handling units, release access-controlled doors, bring lifts to the ground floor and signal the fire pump or suppression system.

The right system depends on the size and layout of your building. Smaller sites often use a conventional panel where detectors are grouped into zones. Larger or multi-floor buildings benefit from an addressable panel that shows the exact detector in alarm, which saves valuable time. FIRENET designs to IS 2189 and NBC 2016 Part 4, and keeps systems healthy with testing that goes beyond checking the panel lights.

Which Detector Goes Where

Using the wrong detector is the biggest cause of false alarms and missed fires. Here is how we match them to each area.

Offices, corridors, bedroomsOptical smoke detectorFast response to smouldering fires in normal environments
Kitchens, pantriesHeat detector (rate-of-rise or fixed)Cooking fumes would cause false alarms with smoke detectors

Final detector selection follows a site survey and IS 2189 guidance for spacing and mounting heights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does our fire alarm keep giving false alarms? +

Common causes are the wrong detector type in kitchens or dusty areas, dirty or ageing detectors, damaged cabling and water ingress. We investigate the event history, test the affected devices and fix the root cause instead of simply disabling zones.

Conventional or addressable — which one do we need? +

Conventional panels are cost-effective for small, simple buildings. Addressable systems identify the exact device in alarm, which makes a big difference in multi-floor buildings, hospitals, hotels and large offices. We recommend based on size and layout.

How often should the fire alarm be tested? +

A short weekly test of a call point by site staff is good practice, with professional inspection and device testing at regular intervals under an AMC. Every detector should be tested over the course of the year.

Can the fire alarm shut down the AC and release doors? +

Yes. Through interface modules and cause-and-effect programming the panel can trip AHUs, release access-controlled doors, ground lifts and trigger voice evacuation. We test these interfaces during commissioning and maintenance.

Do housing societies need a fire alarm system? +

Requirements depend on building height and local fire authority rules. Many high-rise societies have detection or manual call points in common areas and lift lobbies, and all installed systems must be kept in working order and certified in Form B.
