Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for broadcasting a location of a fire are described herein. One device includes a controller configured to receive a report of a fire from a fire sensing device, determine a location of the fire based on the fire sensing device that reported the fire, and transmit a message including the location of the fire to a sounder device for broadcast by the sounder device.
Claims17
A fire control panel, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- receive a report of a fire from a fire sensing device;
- determine a location of the fire based on the fire sensing device that reported the fire;
- transmit a message including the location of the fire to a sounder device for broadcast by the sounder device;
- receive a report of a different fire from a different fire sensing device;
- determine a location of the different fire based on the different fire sensing device that reported the different fire;
- transmit an additional message including the location of the different fire to the sounder device for broadcast by the sounder device;
- and
- determine a severity of the fire and a severity of the different fire, wherein the sounder device broadcasts the location of the fire prior to broadcasting the location of the different fire responsive to the severity of the fire being greater than the severity of the different fire and broadcasts the location of the different fire prior to broadcasting the location of the fire responsive to the severity of the different fire being greater than the severity of the fire.

A method of providing a location of a fire, comprising:
- receiving, by a fire control panel, a report of a fire from a fire sensing device;
- determining, by the fire control panel, a location of the fire based on the fire sensing device that reported the fire;
- transmitting a message including the location of the fire from the fire control panel to a sounder device;
- receiving, by the fire control panel, a report of a different fire from a different fire sensing device;
- determining, by the fire control panel, a location of the different fire based on the different fire sensing device that reported the different fire;
- transmitting an additional message including the location of the different fire from the fire control panel to the sounder device;
- determining, by the fire control panel, a severity of the fire and a severity of the different fire;
- and
- broadcasting, by the sounder device, the location of the fire prior to broadcasting the location of the different fire responsive to the severity of the fire being greater than the severity of the different fire and broadcasting the location of the different fire prior to broadcasting the location of the fire responsive to the severity of the different fire being greater than the severity of the fire.
