Question

What is the first phase of fire suppression?
1. Fire identification
2. Initial attack
3. Good management
4. Communication

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Initial attack

Explanation:

• Fire suppression systems can connect to a fire alarm panel so that activation of the system causes the panel to signal an alarm.
• Wet pipe automatic sprinkler systems commonly have water flow detectors.
• As the water starts to flow in the sprinkler piping, it causes a vane to swing into an alarm position; this sends an alarm to the fire alarm panel.
• Dry pipe sprinkler systems may have pressure sensors for the same reason. 
• The initial attack is the first phase of fire suppression.
