Reviewed by a licensed fire protection professional Every commercial kitchen must have a wet chemical hood suppression system -- NFPA 96 mandates it, no exceptions. These systems spray potassium-based agents that chemically react with hot oil to smother grease fires, while simultaneously cutting gas and electric supply to cooking equipment.

Reviewed by a licensed fire protection professional Fire suppression systems use specialized agents -- wet chemical, clean agents (FM-200, Novec 1230), CO2, foam, inert gas, or dry powder -- to extinguish or control fires in spaces where water sprinklers would cause more damage than the fire itself. Each system type is

Reviewed by a licensed fire protection professional Data centers require clean agent suppression -- FM-200, Novec 1230, or Inergen -- because water sprinklers would destroy the equipment they're meant to protect. NFPA 2001 governs system design. Total cost runs $29,000-$74,000+ for a typical room. FM-200

Reviewed by a licensed fire protection professional CO2 suppression systems extinguish fire by displacing oxygen in enclosed spaces. They are effective, non-corrosive, and leave no residue -- but CO2 at suppression concentrations (30-50% in air) is lethal to humans. NFPA 12 governs design and installation. These systems are restricted

Reviewed by a licensed fire protection professional Clean agent suppression systems use gaseous agents -- FM-200, Novec 1230, or Inergen -- to extinguish fire without damaging electronics or equipment. They are the standard for data centers, server rooms, and archives. NFPA 2001 governs design and installation. Total system cost runs $11,
