Detection and alarm covers the systems and devices used to identify fires and communicate warnings. It includes fire alarm systems, automatic smoke detection, heat and flame detection, manual call points and voice alarms.

Articles examine detector types, activation time, notification methods and unwanted fire alarms. They describe how detection and warning functions relate to building conditions, evacuation and other fire safety systems. The category distinguishes the recognition of fire conditions from the communication of information that enables people and systems to respond.
