You might have heard about smoke detectors and heat detectors that are used to detect fire and set the alarm automatically. Is there any manual way to trigger an alarm? Yes, there is. Manual call points, also called MCP, fire point or pull stations, is a device that demands manual interaction to trigger the alarm. 

The manual call points play a crucial role in handling sudden fire accidents. So in any stressful or dangerous situation, you can quickly set the alarm manually and prevent fire accidents. It is also possible to use these call points in conjunction with automatic detection in the overall fire detection and alarm system.

When you trigger the alarm manually via a manual call point, it sends a warning that a fire or any emergency exists within a building.
