The invention discloses an alarm for detecting combustible gas, and relates to the technical field of combustible gas detection equipment. The alarm comprises a shell, a catalytic rod is arranged in the shell, a first cavity is formed in the shell, an alarm mechanism for detecting the combustible gas is arranged in the first cavity, a warning lamp is fixedly installed on the shell, a linkage mechanism used for controlling the fan to work is arranged in the shell, a fan is fixedly installed on the shell, a heat conduction mechanism used for conducting heat is arranged in the shell, and the heatconduction mechanism is fixedly connected with the output end of the linkage mechanism. The alarm is provided with the catalytic rod, a thermistor, an electromagnet, a conductive block, a magnet anda second wire, combustible gas is subjected to flameless combustion through the catalytic rod, the resistance of the thermistor is changed through generated heat to change the size of electromagnet magnetism so as to achieve communication of different warning lamps, the device is more accurate and convenient compared with direct detection through a gas sensor, and meanwhile, residue of combustiblegas is avoided.
