As buildings become larger and more crowded, evacuation becomes more difficult to manage. Fire alarms that provide voice instructions can decrease confusion during a fire or other emergency. However, these alarms must also be capable of providing the hearing impaired with the same information. A fire alarm was designed which incorporates a speaker which can provide detailed response instructions and two different-colored strobe lights to notify the hearing impaired of either a fire requiring full evacuation or a general emergency.
