1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of spaced apart nodes, the nodes each include communications circuitry and can communicate with one another via a medium;
at least some of the nodes each include a receiver of wireless communications from a displaced source and circuitry for determining if the respective receiving node is a final recipient of a received communication where,at least some of the nodes include at least one sensor selected from a class which includes heat sensors, flame sensors, smoke sensors and gas sensors with one of the nodes comprising a common control element where the common control element includes a graphical output device for operator information;
where the receiver of wireless communications includes a second sensor of incident radiant energy;
a portable source of radiant energy signals; and
where the portable source includes circuitry for specifying a message recipient.
