Fire Detection and Suppression Systems Saponification has other uses other than soap making. It is used in firefighting. In commercial cooking industries, fire fighters use saponification to combat cooking-oils-fires. Cooking-oil-fires are difficult to suppress using other extinguishers. Using saponification, cooking-oil-fire extinguishers use a wet chemical that forms soapy foam on the oil fire quickly putting out the flame. Saponification also acts to prevent re-ignition. The global fire protection community should incorporate wet chemical extinguishing systems as part of its essential technique in firefighting. Wet chemical extinguishing can be instrumental in combating the risk fires would have on employees and equipment in the workplace (Jones, 2009). It works by cooling and timely response would ensure that individuals are not affected adversely by heat during a fire out-break. There has been an increase in the improvement of cooking appliances, heating rates and industrial tendency to unsaturated oil. These are potential conditions for severe fires and wet chemical extinguishing would come in handy in mitigating such possibilities. Incorporating wet fire extinguishing would serve to supplement other firefighting systems. Wet fire extinguishing system in a pre-engineered premise is a boost to fire combat (Sturzenbecker, 2012). As arrangements are made to alert relevant authorities or reach for other like the common carbon dioxide extinguishers, installed wet fire extinguishers would help curb the effects of the fire on equipment and victims. Wet fire extinguishers can be used alongside other extinguishers such as regular dry chemical extinguishers, high-pressure water extinguishers, and other foam extinguishers. Combination of different extinguishers builds on the effectiveness of fire detection, protection and fighting. References Jones, A. M. (2009). Fire
