Michael Swain, campus fire prevention officer at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, said he practices the three E's – education, enforcement and engineering – when preventing fire-related deaths at the school. Key to those elements is a fire detection system that alerts in case of actual fire, but helps distinguish between actual incidents and false alarms. The Advanced Multi-Criteria Detector from System Sensor is the first detector designed to specifically address false alarms while using four independent sensors – one for carbon monoxide, a photoelectric smoke sensor, a temperature sensor and an infrared light sensor – to determine what type of fire is occurring.
