The presence of combustible material, adequate oxygen in the surrounding atmosphere and a heat source will start and keep a fire burning. These 3 elements: fuel, oxygen and heat comprise the “fire triangle” describing every combustion process.
The basis of fire-fighting techniques is to break at least one side of the fire triangle. Generally, a fire-fighting technique has greatest effect if it can very quickly remove one or more of the three conditions which started the fire and keeps it burning.
N2 FireFighter® prevents the problem even occurring by actively removing the possibility of combustion.
