Fireout

To see how we might put fires out we need to look at the fire tetrahedron. This tells us that if we remove fuel,
remove air, remove heat or remove the chemical reactions then a fire will go out.

Applying water is the commonest way of putting out a fire. Water is useful because it absorbs a lot of heat. It can
also change into steam as it boils, and this can help to exclude the air from a fire, but it often causes more damage
than the fire itself.

Another way of putting out a fire is to smother it to remove air. Although an efficient fire extinguishing agent,
Halons are very destructive to the Ozone layer that protects us from harmful ultraviolet light. The amount of
ultraviolet light reaching the surface of the earth has increased 15% since the 1970s due to the "hole" created by
a loss of up to 60% of the ozone layer above the Antarctic.

FireOut represent a dramatic advancement in fire protection systems over Alternative, Halon, Carbon dioxide, Dry
chemical, and Water systems. It is environmentally friendly, both non-toxic and non-corrosive. It is the most cost
effective fire suppression system available. It requires no expensive installation of pressure vessels, pipe work, or
extensive manpower to install. Once installed, this automatic computer room fire suppression system is on guard
24 hours a day to protect your computer data and equipment.
