Answer / ilyas

Fire detector is a common name for all type of detectors to
find fire. Smoke detector is one type of fire detector.If
you have a smoke detector in a pantry it will give always
alarm. so there you have to fix heat detector.If you are
using a smoke or heat detector in a substation you will get
an alarm too late. So A uv detector will be better or you
can use one uv and one smoke detector. Basically all are
intended to indicate a chance of fire.
