近年来，对重大生命损失火灾的反应导致对烟雾控制、避难区和火灾报警系统的要求越来越复杂。一个缓解这些问题的经济影响的拟议解决方案是结合检测信号和控制的复杂电子网络。这篇文章提出了反对意见，要求对这类系统进行简化和分离。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1985年，第91卷，pt。1B芝加哥

Reaction to major loss of life fires in recent years has spawned increasingly complex requirements for smoke control, zones of refuge, and fire alarm systems. A proposed solution to mitigate the economic impact of these has been sophisticated electronic networks combining detection signaling and control. This paper presents counterargument calling for simplification and separation of such systems.
