Photoelectric type detector responds to radiation in a narrow wavelength band characteristic of a fire or explosion, and a slow-response detector, such as a thermopile, is sensitive to radiation in a different narrow wavelength band centered at, for example, 4.4 microns, again characteristic of the same fire or explosion. The electrical outputs of the detectors are fed into a ratio unit which causes an AND gate to produce a fire or explosion indicating output only when the ratio of the output of the thermopile detector to the output of the other detector exceeds a predetermined value.
