Program Plan Intro

Fire:

One of the most serious threats to physical security is fire. It is considered as the serious threat because; fire may lead to death for many people.

Example:

If fire catches a particular organization, which is free from fire detectors, many workers from that organization will lose their life. In addition, many important documents and assets could be destroyed by fire that cannot be recovered.

Fire suppression system:

  • Fire suppressor is used to eliminate fire from particular areas. They are of portable and manual types. Mostly portable extinguishers are more efficient for smaller fire.
  • Fire suppression system quells fires by eliminating either oxygen or fuel, or it reduces the temperature.
  • Fire extinguishers usually contain carbon-di-oxide that eliminates oxygen supply. It might harm living beings so they are not used in residential areas. The alternative used here is Halon.
