An unmanned vehicle for initiating a fire extinguishing action, the vehicle having: a vehicle sensor unit for detecting a fire parameter Kof a vehicle monitoring region, a vehicle communication unit for receiving an instruction signal Srepresenting a detected fire, a target location and/or a target region, and a navigation control unit for navigating the vehicle to the target location based on the instruction signal S. The vehicle is: configured for detecting the fire parameter Kin the form of a verification fire parameter Kof the fire detector monitoring region at the target location by the vehicle sensor unit, configured for determining a verification fire status Zby evaluating the verification fire parameter K, and designed and/or configured for initiating a fire extinguishing action if the verification fire status Zwas determined. A system with such a vehicle and a corresponding method are also provided.

Unmanned vehicle, system, and method for initiating a fire extinguishing action

A method for extinguishing objects or appliances, in which, once a fire signal has been detected at point in time t, a first device () providing an extinguishing agent is triggered, for discharging a liquid synthetic extinguishing agent (), via a separating device (), a common conveying pipe () and at least one nozzle (), and, once a second fire signal has been detected at point in time t, a second device () providing an extinguishing agent is triggered for discharging water () or a water-based extinguishing agent via the separating device (), the common conveying pipe () and the at least one nozzle () for extinguishing. A system is also provided for extinguishing objects or appliances.

Extinguishing method and system using a liquid synthetic extinguishing agent and water

A fire detection and/or extinguishing control station for actuating two extinguishing agent supply devices using a control unit. After actuating a first extinguishing agent supply device () upon detection of a first fire signal at time (t), the control station is additionally equipped to actuate a second extinguishing agent supply device () upon detection of a second fire signal at time (t) if the control station has checked whether the time (t) fulfills the inequality (t+t)&#x3c;t&#x3c;(t+t), where (t) represents a discharge time of the complete or partial discharge of at least one extinguishing agent container () of the first extinguishing agent supply device (), (t) represents a check time connected to the discharge time (t), and (t) represents a monitoring time period, and the monitoring time period (t) is the sum of the discharge time (t) and the check time (t) beginning at time (t).
