Abstract
There is described a fire detection/notification system for detecting a weapons discharge comprising a network and a control panel. The network includes multiple devices, and each device includes a fire-related detection sensor and a weapons discharge sensor. The control panel is configured to identify a fire-related hazard detected by the fire-related detection sensor and produce a first alert signal in response to identifying the fire-related hazard. The control panel is also configured to identify a weapons discharge hazard detected by the weapons discharge sensor and produce a second alert signal in response to identifying the weapons discharge hazard. The control panel is connected to the network and includes an output circuit configured to communicate with one or more emergency responder devices external to the fire detection/notification system in response to receiving the first alert signal, the second alert signal, or both signals.
