    Does anyone have in place or have ideas for a barn-based fire alarm that would sound in a house? I have two horses in a run-in shed (no problem) and 2 horses in a box stall (potential problem). If there were a fire, I want to know about it before I see any flames.

    Thanks.

    I’m not real familiar with the systems but I do know that security systems installed in houses and business have the option to have smoke and heat detectors in stalled to call the fire dept. direct if either is detected. There is even an app for it for your smart phone. We recently had a security system installed at work but didn’t go with the fire protection option.

    If you or a friend is real crafty there are heat sensors and smoke detectors available that could just be wired to sound an alarm or flashing light etc. it would just take a little engineering to build the system.

    Here is a link to give you the idea. You could mount the controler in your house and then would just have to run wire to the barn and could mount sensors in different locations.

    Here is a link to a system exactly like you are talking however it does not do a good job of letting you know who makes it and how much it costs. I may have missed it but seems like a very important thing to add. http://www.livingthecountrylife.com/buildings/smoke-detectors-in-outbuildings
