A fire detector senses the change in a physical parameter indicative of a fire such as smoke, heat or the like and produces detection pulses in synchronism with an oscillator circuit when the change in the physical parameter exceeds a predetermined amount. A counting means counts the detection pulses and produces an output which triggers an alarm circuit when a predetermined number of consecutive detection pulses are counted. The count of the counting means is reset by a reset means whenever the detection pulses are nonconsecutive, that is, whenever an oscillator pulse is received without receipt of a corresponding detection pulse. By this means intermittent changes in the physical parameter which indicate some false alarm signal rather than a real fire do not produce the required number of consecutive detection pulses and do not set off the alarm circuit. On the other hand when a real fire occurs the circuit always counts detection pulses from the beginning of the detection of a fire because the counting means is reset each time a series of consecutive detection pulses less than the predetermined number ends.
