fire suppression techniques

Fire suppression techniques involve methods to extinguish or control fires to protect lives and property. These include removing heat, fuel, or oxygen—known as the fire triangle. Common methods are applying water or foam to cool and smother flames, using fire extinguishers designed for specific fire types, deploying fire-retardant chemicals, and creating barriers to prevent fire spread. Advanced techniques may involve controlled burns or using specialized equipment like fire hoses, sprinklers, and suppression systems. The goal is to quickly contain the fire, minimize damage, and ensure safety for responders and the public.
