FREQUENLTY ASKED QUESTIONS

The most common fire suppression system is an automatic extinguishing system. This system is activated automatically when it detects a fire. Some common types of water-based sprinkler systems include:

• Traditional wet pipe sprinkler systems
• Dry pipe sprinklers
• Pre-action fire sprinkler systems
• Deluge sprinklers

A fire suppression system is a system or device that is used to extinguish or control a fire, often in a building. Fire suppression systems are employed in order to reduce property damage, maintain the safety of occupants, and minimize the spread of fire.

A system uses either passive methods or active methods to extinguish a fire. An active system uses water or gas to extinguish the fire (known as “extinguishing systems”), whereas passive systems use one or more of the following:

• Minimising the oxygen supply to the fire.
• Isolating combustibles from a potential source of ignition.
• Cooling or removing heat from a fire adjacent compartment or object to prevent ignition

An automatic extinguishing system automatically detects a fire, then triggers an action such as activating an alarm signal, sounding a local alarm, or activating a fire suppression system.
