I mean -- this isn't a bad thing. Good old know-how is using the best tool for the job. If you already have a broom -- it works as a great "invisible flame" detector.
I guess you could toss out a cloud of particles to detect flames everywhere -- but that also has a downside of putting more flammable items that could grow the fire.
Other than infrared sensors -- which is a device that need maintenance and can fail. What better thing could they use?

Filling the air with fine particles just makes them explosive.

That was my point. Hence -- why a broom is a great solution when you don't have expensive detection equipment around, it won't fail AND it works as a broom.
