What is the primary goal of fire suppression tactics?

The primary goal of fire suppression tactics is to extinguish fires and minimize damage. Fire suppression involves strategic methods and techniques aimed at controlling and ultimately eliminating the fire. This includes deploying water, foam, or other fire suppressants to reduce the flames, cool the environment, and protect structures and surrounding areas from fire spread. Effective fire suppression not only reduces property loss but also protects lives by managing the hazards associated with active fires.

While managing smoke pollution, providing crowd control, and conducting fire drills are important components of fire safety and emergency management, they are not the primary focus of fire suppression tactics. Smoke management is typically a secondary concern, as it usually comes into play during or after suppression efforts. Crowd control can be part of the overall emergency response but does not directly address the extinguishing process itself. Fire drills are essential for preparedness and training but do not relate to the active application of suppression tactics in an emergency scenario.
