Fire Alarm Systems for Schools and Kindergartens
DiTi Service engineers · updated 26.09.2026
Short answer
Schools and kindergartens are buildings full of children, so they need fire detection in every room, a warning system, alarm transmission to a staffed post and the fire service, and fire doors.
These buildings are full of children and face stricter requirements: automatic fire detection in all rooms, a warning system, alarm transmission to security and the fire service, fire doors and regular evacuation drills.
Work is done during school holidays or outside teaching hours.
Practical tips
Plan the work for the summer holidays — the most convenient time for installation.
Run evacuation drills with the children at least once a year.
Check that the alarm is audible in the gym, canteen and assembly hall.
