Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA): A system that actively draws air through a network of pipes to a central detector, enabling it to provide a very early warning of potential fire situations. It detects minute smoke particles in the air, thus allowing organizations to initiate response procedures before any visible signs of fire appear, minimizing potential damage and enhancing safety.
