Fire Alarm Voice Evacuation is the process of alerting a building’s occupants in the event of a fire emergency via an automated, pre-recorded human voice announcement. This is according to the most recognized business definition and standard—NFPA 72: The National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. With Fire Alarm Voice Evacuation systems in place, people are warned quickly and succinctly with verbal instructions designed to direct them to safety before disaster strikes. These powerful audio systems are capable of broadcasting messages tailored to their environment—from multiple zones within a building to widespread regions depending on the severity of the danger—giving every person ample time to evacuate before they are in immediate danger. As such, it is considered one of the most important defense mechanisms preventing serious injury or loss of life due to fire emergencies.
