determining a location of each of the fire detection devices within the room and a location of the fire suppression devices within the room;

wherein determining the probability of a fire in the room further comprises:

determining a geometry of the room in response to a floor plan;

determining whether one or more articles are located within the room and a flammability of each of the one or more articles;

determining whether one or more hazards are located within the room; and

determining the probability of a fire in the room in response to at least the one or more articles located within the room, the flammability of each of the one or more articles, and the one or more hazards located within the room;
