What term describes a system designed to detect fires early and automatically control and extinguish them without human intervention?

• A. Hazard Analysis
• B. Fire Suppression System
• C. Installation
• D. Interlock

Answer: (B)

A fire suppression system is designed to detect fires early and automatically control and extinguish them without human intervention. It integrates detectors, a control system, and an automatic release of an extinguishing agent so the fire is addressed immediately, limits damage, and triggers alarms without someone having to activate it. Hazard analysis is about identifying potential hazards, not a system that actively fights fires. Installation refers to putting a system in place, and interlock is a safety mechanism that prevents certain actions unless conditions are met. This scenario specifically describes an integrated system that detects and automatically suppresses fires, which is the fire suppression system.
