Claim 0:
1. A detector, comprising:
at least one sensor configured to detect airborne particulates at a premises;
processing circuitry in communication with the at least one sensor, the 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;
compare the at least one characteristic associated with the detected airborne particulates to data associated with predefined characteristics of burned materials, the predefined characteristic of burned materials comprises at least one of a smoke composition or a soot composition;
detect, based at least on the comparison, a presence of a fire; and
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.
