A system performs cloud-based fire protection. The system receives, by a cloud platform, data from one or more initiating devices. The system stores the data in a persistent data storage of the cloud platform over a period of time. The system applies machine learning to the data to build or adjust a predictive detection model. The system processes, by computing resources of the cloud platform, the data using the predictive detection model to determine an existence of a safety event. The system then transmits, to at least one notification device, an event notification in response to the existence of the safety event.
