The fire suppression system in the hold is a one shot, 'fire and forget' system. Initially delivers a long burst to extinguish and suppress the fire. Then it automatically fires metered bursts periodically to maintain suppression. Certified for a minimum of 195 minutes to cater for our 180 minutes EDTO.
