1. An integrated fire suppression system comprising:
a plurality of fire detection systems, each of the fire detection systems being individually addressable;
a control system communicatively coupled to each of the fire detection systems in the plurality of fire detection systems;
a plurality of building systems communicatively connected to the control system, the plurality of building systems including at least one of a fire suppression system, an alarm system, a heating ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, a building power supply system, and a building security system; and
wherein the control system is configured to provide a localized response to a fire detection by at least one fire detection system in the plurality of fire detection systems, the localized response comprising a response in at least one of the plurality of building systems, and wherein the plurality of building systems comprises the building power supply system, and wherein the localized response comprises a power shut down localized to a hazard zone, and wherein the power shut down comprises a notification to a critical system within the hazard zone, and a power shutdown delay dependent on a backup time required for the critical system.
