Special Hazard Fire Protection _ Combustion Principles

Combustion Principles dictate the design and operation of fire suppression systems to successfully extinguish a fire. Combustion principles also play a part in how detection equipment determine the presence of a fire.

Combustion principles analyze the gases and other by-products of fire to include heat, light and radiation.
