NFIRS 5.0 Element: ‘Automatic Extinguishment System (AES) Operation’

Définition : The operation and effectiveness of the automatic extinguishing system relative to the area of fire origin.
 
Purpose : Knowing the usage, reliability, and effectiveness of AESs is important to the understanding of fire control and life safety in buildings with and without extinguishing equipment.
Entry : Check or mark the box that indicates if the AES operated and was or was not effective. Effective does not necessarily mean complete extinguishing, but the system must at least contain and control the fire until the fire department can complete extinguishment.
