In a world where everyone is busy about his own routine, barely does anyone pay attention to safety regulations. Publicly accessed buildings such as banks, shopping malls and other areas where the public are free to roam about are the most affected places due to human negligence. By human negligence it is not meant that these places are kept clean by the authorities, it means that the people visiting these places do not pay attention to avoid doing stuff that could result in causing harm to others and the place itself. For example, people ignorantly throw cigarettes in waste bins without putting them out. The paper inside could catch fire and soon enough the flames would be blazing. If there would be any inflammable material nearby, the blazing flames would soon engulf the entire place causing panic and even damage.

While it is impossible to ask everyone inside to be careful of their acts, one thing that can be done is to install a proper fire suppression system that would take care of the risk. In any case of such emergency, the system would spring to life before any serious damage is done and would wipe out the flames. This practice is not new and has been found to be effective and is in use from many years now. The advancement in this field has been done by using different fire suppression agents and much advanced systems to detect such as the FM 200 fire suppression system.

It is a reliable system because it uses an agent that has been clinically and professionally tested to overpower many different kinds of fires. In most cases using water to put out flames results in a deadly set back. For instance, if the flames are near an electric supply board or in the electric supply board, if anyone throws water on it, there is a huge chance that he will be electrocuted. Water is a very good conductor of electricity and if any person gets caught in the circuit, it is a rarity that he would ever survive the electric shock and might not be able to free himself.

The systems designed to suppress fire aren’t much complicated to understand. The smoke and heat detectors are its sensors to sense the need to start operating. The long steel pipes are its path to take the agent to the required spot. The agent, most probably gas is present inside single skinned containers to provide maximum security and pressure when released. Using an ultrasonic liquid level indicator the cylinders are monitored and pressures are noted. The brain of the system is inside a box type device that is efficient to sense and start spraying at the right moment.
