The purpose of fire suppression systems in Los Angeles is twofold; either extinguish a fire or stop the fire from spreading. Often these suppression systems are installed in conjunction with smoke and heat detectors and fire alarms, thus providing protection and safeguards for the contents of a room or building, including personnel and property. There are a number of fire suppression systems, three of which are commonly used; water, an inert gas and one of a number of different dry chemicals.
