•The mall has an
alarm system
that avoids false
alarm and makes
the following
actions:
• detect the fire
in the first stages
by the detectors
(smoke , infrared
and heat
detectors) and
the place is
shown on the
info board.
• when fire is
detected the info
board acts the
following
actions:
 send messages
for the alarm for
the building
 send messages
for the A.H.U to
stop to avoid fire
spreading.
 send messages
for elevators
•Fire alarm…
Fire alarm system
 send messages
for smoke duct
system
• the main info
board works to
be sure that the
fire fighting
system is
working and
safety system.
• it also is
responsible of
fighting fire by
different agents
in different
spaces such as
mechanical .
Electrical room
and elevators.
• the building
contains
emergency
speaker system.
• the building
contains an
automatic
emergency caller.

•Smoke duct.
•Deluge detector

•The alarm
system is an
automatic one but
also can be used as
a manual one in
emergency cases
