Fire suppression systems are governed by the codes under the National Fire Protection Association, also known as the NFPA.
This organization writes codes, regulations, and recommendations on the proper installation and maintenance of these fire
suppression systems. Likewise, the NFPA also lists criteria that must be met for the requirements of certain types of fire
suppression systems.
How does a fire suppression system work?
A fire suppression system will have built-in components to detect fires as early as possible. These components will first
identify the presence of flames and smoke. The suppression system will then initiate an alarm, so the blaze can be subdued
before it has the chance to spread. A fire suppression system can be considered an ‘active’ fire protection method because
the system is triggered in response to the presence of fire. As will be explored further in this article, a fire suppression
system also contains a range of components that ‘actively’ work to extinguish flames and smoke.
