A fire hydrant, fireplug, or firecock (archaic) is a connection point by which firefighters can tap into a water supply.

It is a component of active fire protection.

Underground fire hydrants have been used in Europe and Asia since at least the 18th century.

Above-ground pillar-type hydrants are a 19th-century invention.

A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with a dry or wet chemical used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergencies.

It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc), or otherwise requires the equipment, personnel, resources or expertise of a fire brigade.

Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an that can be discharged to extinguish a fire.

Fire extinguishers manufactured with non-cylindrical pressure vessels also exist but are less common.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors.

It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point (P2P), point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links.

Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring (Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV").

A fire alarm system is a building system designed to detect and alert occupants and emergency forces of the presence of smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, or other fire-related emergencies.

Fire alarm systems are required in most commercial buildings.

They may include smoke detectors, heat detectors, and manual fire alarm activation devices, all of which are connected to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) normally found in an electrical room or panel room.

Fire alarm systems generally use visual and audio signalization to warn the occupants of the building.

Some fire alarm systems may also disable elevators, which under most circumstances, are unsafe to use during a fire.

Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce destruction caused by fire.

Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent of an uncontrolled fire and those that are used to limit the spread and impact of a fire.
