Fire Alarm Priority and Preemption refer to the capability of a fire alarm system to prioritize signals and preempt other activities within a building or facility during a fire emergency. This feature ensures that in the event of a fire alarm activation, the system can take control over certain building functions or systems to facilitate safe evacuation and emergency response.
