Fire Suppression Systems, Then and Now

Back before the 1990s, a fire suppression system was merely expected to keep a fire in check long enough for the fire department could get there to extinguish it. As technology has improved over time, we're now in an age where these systems are not just expected to control a fire so other help can arrive; instead, fire suppression systems can now be tasked with the responsibility of putting the fire out, with fire crews coming just in the case the blaze gets out of control.

Now that these systems can potentially suppress a fire on their own, we could enter an era where the loss of life and property could diminish significantly. In the past, a large portion of the damage was due to the delay in a fire being reported and crews coming to take care of it. With today's suppression systems, a fire can be detected soon after it starts, and can be extinguished before it has the chance to grow and spread.
