Fire suppression covers the systems, agents and mechanisms used to control or extinguish fires. It includes sprinkler systems, water mist systems, gaseous systems and firefighting foam, together with the physical and chemical mechanisms of extinguishment.
Articles examine system arrangements, activation, agent delivery, water supplies and hydraulic calculations. The category also addresses sprinkler response, design density, hazard classification and interactions with ventilation. These topics connect the intended suppression function with the characteristics of the protected fuel, the space and the equipment used to deliver the extinguishing agent.
