fire suppression
Extinguishing blaze systems
Fire suppression refers to the methods and systems used to extinguish or control fires once they've started.
This includes sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, and specialized chemical or gas suppression systems in commercial buildings, data centers, and aircraft.
In forestry and wildland management, fire suppression describes the organized effort to contain and extinguish wildfires, as opposed to controlled burns or letting fires burn naturally.
The building's fire suppression system activated immediately when smoke was detected.
