An MCP fire alarm, also known as a manual call point (MCP) or break glass call point, is a device that allows people to manually activate a fire alarm system. It's typically a red box mounted on a wall that contains a button or lever that, when activated, sends a signal to the fire alarm control panel, triggering the alarm and, in some cases, automatically notifying the fire department.

MCPs are crucial in buildings where automatic fire detectors might not be as effective, such as in areas with high levels of dust or steam, or where the fire might not produce enough smoke to be detected automatically. They also play a vital role in ensuring a quick response to a fire, as anyone who witnesses a fire can immediately raise the alarm, regardless of whether automatic detectors have been triggered.

Here are some of the different types of MCPs:

• Break glass: These are the most common type of MCP. They have a red glass panel that must be broken to activate the alarm.

• Resettable: These MCPs have a button or lever that can be pushed or pulled to activate the alarm and then reset afterwards.

• Key operated: These MCPs require a key to be activated, which helps to prevent false alarms.

• Wireless: These MCPs communicate with the fire alarm control panel wirelessly, eliminating the need for wiring.

The specific type of MCP used in a building will depend on the needs of the occupants and the specific fire risks of the building.

It's important to remember that MCPs should only be used in the event of a real fire. Activating an MCP without cause is a serious offense that can waste valuable resources and put people at risk.

If you hear a fire alarm, it's important to evacuate the building immediately and follow the fire safety procedures that have been put in place. Do not stop to investigate the source of the alarm or collect your belongings. Once you are safely outside the building, call the fire department.
