Heat detectors should be used for the main part of garage fire detection.
1. After the car starts, it gives off soot-like exhaust gas. If smoke detector is installed, it will cause false alarm.
2. When a car catches fire, the fire spreads quickly, few smoke produced at initial time. So, heat detector is better for garage fire detection.

Smoke detectors should be used in garage stairwells, walkways and elevators.

Buildings and collections in museums are prone to fires. When a fire occurs, gas detectors can detect gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning objects and send an alarm in time.

Therefore, museums need to install various types of fire detectors in order to detect and put out fires at first time.
