Any small space is characterized by the presence of electricity and heat. So the danger of fire is always there with consequences that always threaten life and property. The consequences can be really destructive and result in situations which can never be changed. The traditional fire suppression techniques either belong to electricity or the electronics category.

The fire safety mechanisms which are adopted either for managing a large building or a big data center has to be sound and should incorporate the latest of technologies to combat any sort of fire tragedies. The presence of a fire suppression systemis essential to fir safety engineering. All of these systems work in the same principle that is by introducing something working against flame. These may be water, water mist or aerosols, foams, dry chemicals and gaseous extinguishing agents. The use of the anti fire substances depend upon a large number of factors and have to be used wisely. Some of them are dangerous for human health while others can completely eliminate oxygen from the place. Generally, the small business areas or activity centers use the traditional water sprinklers but in terms of usage the gaseous forms of suppression tops the list...

The fire suppression systemwhich is used depends on the space where the fire has broken out. The choice is in between total flooding of the area with the fire suppression gas or local application to directly deal with the objects, substances or areas at risk. The engineering and the designing of the suppression system depends largely on the total volume and degree of the enclosure f the space which needs to be protected. Some latest technologies involve automatic creation of closed space by closing fire doors, ventilation inlets or other sources of oxygen supply..
