Claim 20:
21. A detector, comprising:
at least one sensor configured to detect airborne particulates at a premises;
processing circuitry configured to:
determine at least one characteristic associated with the detected airborne particulates, the at least one characteristic associated with the detected airborne particulates comprises a composition of the detected airborne particulates;
request data specific to the detected airborne particulates from a database to retrieve predefined characteristics of burned materials, the predefined characteristics of burned materials comprises at least one of a smoke composition or a soot composition;
compare the at least one characteristic associated with the detected airborne particulates to the predefined characteristics of burned materials;
detect, based at least on the comparison, a presence of a fire;
determine, if the presence of the fire is detected, at least one characteristic of the fire based on the at least one characteristic associated with the detected airborne particulates and the comparison; and
train a model to determine the at least one characteristic of the fire using machine learning.
