Whilst fire detection and alarm systems will be sufficient to raise the alarm and summon fire-fighting effort, a fixed extinguishing system can minimise the damage caused by a fire by automatically releasing the extinguishing agent.

These are typically installed to protect areas with items of high value, for example server and data centres, archives, libraries or storage of works of art.  Fire Suppression systems can take the form of watermist or inert and chemical gasses.  Some of the common gasses include Argonite, Inergen, CO2 and FM200.

Scotshield Fire & Security can offer to design, install, commission and maintain a wide range of Fire Suppression systems to suit the needs of the individual customer and the environment in which they are required.
