Normally a fire suppression system is installed to target a risk that has been identified as potentially damaging to people or property & in some cases it could be a piece of irreplaceable & often crucial machinery. Sometimes there can be other reasons for installing the fire suppression systems such as a requirement that they be installed to operate in certain forests, underground mining, landfills, tunnels, flammable environments & materials or for regulatory reasons.
