Abstract - In industry, in most cases, fire burning is
hospitals, schools, hotels, and other public facilities, subject to local construction codes and enforcement.
because of Electrical wiring short Circuiting or chemical reactions, burn the surrounding Property and machinery. The Fire incident is a severe disaster that can potentially cause Human injuries, property damage, and permanent disability in Humans, or some cases the affected victim loses their life. To avoid this, we used the Fire Extinguisher system (Sprinkler line system) that is Extinguish the fire but not effectively. By using smart Fire Extinguisher technology, we can reduce (Extinguishing) fire Properly & effectively. In this paper we discussed about fire extinguisher, their existing techniques
Type of fire (which are classified by letters) the extinguisher is designed for depending on the fuel that has caused the fire. Shown in table No. 1.

1. INTRODUCTION Fire sprinkler systems are now extensively used worldwide at commercial buildings as well as homes, schools and apartment buildings for fire protection. In 2011 Wales, UK became the first country in the world where fire sprinklers are compulsory in all new homes. In South Korea, high rise apartment buildings with more than 11 floors have been enforced to install fire sprinkler systems since 2009.
2.APPROACH Taking this categorization into account, we can better understand the types of available fire extinguishers and the fire extinguishing agents they contain. The most common extinguishing agents include:
One of the most important safety aspects of a building is having all necessary fire protection measures in place. The building must have a clearly marked emergency exit route that will safely guide people out of the building [1]. However, other measures should also be taken to extinguish or contain the fire as much as possible within structural possibilities. There are some common Fire Extinguishing Methods : Removing oxygen from the system, using water, using a fire extinguisher, Using sprinkler lines.
Water: the water is used as a quenching Material in Fire Extinguisher System, suitable for class A type fires where the no electrical Grid and their appliances. Water isn’t appropriate for fires involving liquid fuels like gasoline or oil as a result of it’s denser than those liquids; as a result, it would be impossible to put out the fire since the fuel would stay on top of the water. Foam: We have seen that the firefighters spray foam during emergency drills. The foam is utilized for both class A type and B type fires. It is hazardous when there is electricity present, much like the prior example.
Fire extinguishers are one such means used in emergencies to extinguish or control small fires. A fire extinguisher usually consists of a cylindrical pressure vessel containing a dispensable agent to extinguish the fire. For fire sprinkler system is an active fire protection measure, consisting of a water supply system, providing adequate pressure and flow rate to a water distribution piping system, onto which fire sprinklers are connected.
Dust: It is utilized in all buildings and is the most typical kind. It is appropriate for Type A, Type B, and Type C fires. It comes in powder form, so it can be used in the where the Electrical grid (Power Station, Substation, Electrical Room) is present. It is the most recommended extinguisher for houses, offices any other type of building.
In most of India, fire sprinklers are now required as safety equipment for specific occupations, including newly built
