There are many types of fire alarms, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here is a brief overview of the most common types:

1. Pre-alarm System: This type of alarm triggers before a fire actually starts. It is often used in areas with high risk of fire, such as warehouses or high-rise buildings.

2. Manual Alarm: This type of alarm requires someone to push a button to activate it. It is usually used in homes or small businesses without pre-alarm systems.

3. Interruptible Power Supply (ISP): This type of alarm uses electricity to activate a siren and/or lights. ISP alarms are usually more expensive than manual alarms, but they tend to be more reliable and tamper-proof.

4. Voice Response System (VRS): This type of alarm uses voice recognition technology to activate the alarm automatically when an intruder enters the home or business. VRS alarms are usually more expensive than other types of alarms, but they are usually easier to use and less likely to malfunction.

5. Smoke Alarms: These alarms detect the presence of smoke and call for help. Smoke alarms are usually required in every home and small business.
