Fire suppression refers to the various methods used to extinguish or prevent the spread of fire. These methods can be broadly categorized into two types: active fire suppression and passive fire suppression.
Active Fire Suppression[edit]
Active fire suppression involves the use of systems or equipment that require some kind of action to work. This includes fire extinguishers, fire sprinkler systems, and gaseous fire suppression systems.
Fire Extinguishers[edit]
Fire extinguishers are portable devices that discharge a jet of water, foam, gas, or other material to extinguish a fire. They are typically used for small, contained fires.
Fire Sprinkler Systems[edit]
Fire sprinkler systems are designed to automatically release a spray of water when a certain heat level is detected. They are commonly used in commercial and residential buildings.
Gaseous Fire Suppression Systems[edit]
Gaseous fire suppression systems use inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire. They are typically used in environments where water from a sprinkler system could damage expensive equipment, such as data centers and telecommunications facilities.
Passive Fire Suppression[edit]
Passive fire suppression involves the use of building materials and design to prevent the spread of fire. This includes fire-resistant materials, fire doors, and fire walls.
Fire-Resistant Materials[edit]
Fire-resistant materials are designed to resist burning and withstand heat. They are used in the construction of buildings and other structures to prevent the spread of fire.
Fire Doors[edit]
Fire doors are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke between different parts of a building. They are typically used in commercial buildings and multi-family residential buildings.
Fire Walls[edit]
Fire walls are fire-resistant walls used to slow or prevent the spread of fire within a building or between buildings.
