A fire suppression system, using Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Technology, is an engineered group of units that are built to extinguish fires through the application of a substance. Most commonly, a fire suppression system has built-in components that detect fires at the beginning stages through heat, smoke, and other warning signals. These are attached to an alarm system that will alert you when the fire has been detected and initiate steps for action to further suppress the fire. 

The majority of fire suppression systems will automatically release the application of an external substance to extinguish the fire after the detection and/or alert. However, some Fire Suppression Systems have a manual application release.
