New Devices, New Responsibilities: Acoustic & Thermal Detection


NFPA 72 (2025) formally recognizes several new fire detection technologies to keep pace with innovation and modern hazards:

  • Acoustic leak and flame detectors β€” now defined in the code for applications like gas monitoring and industrial environments.

  • Thermal imaging fire detectors β€” introduced for early detection in challenging areas where smoke or heat alone may not be reliable.

  • Multi-criteria sensors with AI capabilities β€” supporting advanced algorithms to improve detection speed and reduce nuisance alarms.

These new devices can offer earlier and more reliable fire detection, but they also demand updated testing, inspection, and maintenance (ITM) protocols to ensure code compliance and ongoing performance.

At Capitol City Fire Protection & Life Safety, LLC, we help Baton Rouge building owners stay ahead of the curve, integrating new NFPA 72-approved technologies into reliable life safety solutions.
