The vast majority of fires start as very small smouldering fires and can remain like that for long periods of time. When the fire is very small it does not produce enough smoke or heat to set off a typical smoke detector. If you were alerted to the fire at this stage you could deal with it quickly and easily before any significant damage has been done.

Aspirating smoke detection systems can detect smoke at vastly lower densities than ordinary smoke detectors. They draw air into the sensing chamber rather than sitting passively in the air stream. The built in intelligence and the ability to "learn" its environment means that while an aspirating system can detect smoke at much lower densities it is not prone to false alarms.
