A Central Station Service (CSS) Fire Alarm System is an automated, networked system that serves to detect and control the spread of fire. It is the primary component of fire prevention and protection in commercial buildings, ranging from offices to high-rises. The CSS Fire Alarm System is connected to monitoring stations which analyze data from components like sensors and smoke detectors to identify potential fire hazards. These systems also provide pre-configured safety protocols that can be triggered automatically or manually to help minimize damage and loss of life in the event of a fire, such as suppressing flames with sprinklers or activating evacuation alarms.
