Which types of systems are covered under the Type A Fixed System License?

The Type A Fixed System License specifically encompasses automatic fire extinguishing systems. These systems are designed to detect and suppress fires automatically, using various methods such as chemical agents, water mist, or foam. Such systems are vital in preventing fire spread and minimizing damage in various settings, including commercial and industrial environments.

Fire alarm and detection systems, while critical for alerting occupants to a fire, fall under a different licensing category. They focus on detection and alarm functions rather than suppression. Similarly, water-based sprinkler systems serve a specific role in fire prevention but also require different licensing. Portable fire extinguishers are essential for immediate fire response but do not typically fall under the scope of a Type A Fixed System License since they are considered portable and user-operated, unlike the fixed installations covered by this license.
