The process of reducing the fire’s growth is called Active fire protection. These methods work by creating physical barriers against smoke and flame. The second method, known as passive fire protection, spreads continuous streams of water over the fire. Passive systems also have an aesthetic benefit. Air sampling systems provide both fire protection and aesthetics.…
