How do fire alarm panels communicate alarms to emergency responders?

Fire alarm panels typically use one or more of these communication methods to send a signal to a supervising station that notifies fire department personnel:
• Phone lines (POTS): traditional landline connections (being phased out)
• Cellular communicators: wireless communication via mobile networks
• IP-based communication: internet for faster, more reliable alerts
• Radio systems: secure, dedicated frequencies for fire alarm signals
