The invention relates to a method for fighting a fire event. According to the invention, the following method steps are proposed:

Method for fighting a fire event and system for carrying out the method

The invention relates to a water extinguishing system with a fluid supply for providing an extinguishing fluid, a pump which is configured to pump the extinguishing fluid from the fluid supply into a supply line of a pipe system of the water extinguishing system, a test line which branches off from the supply line of the pipe system and is configured to conduct the extinguishing fluid pumped by the pump away from the pipe system, and a fluid bypass line with a cross section reduced in comparison to the cross section of the test line, where the fluid bypass line is configured to conduct a predefined portion of the extinguishing fluid around an opening element of the test line away from the pipe system, where the water extinguishing system further comprises at least one control device which is configured to determine at least one parameter indicative of the cross-section of the fluid bypass line, and to control the pump test run of the pump on the basis of that parameter. The invention further relates to a corresponding control device and a method for controlling a corresponding pump test run.

The invention relates to a fire-extinguishing facility comprising an extinguishing fluid line for transporting an extinguishing fluid, a plurality of sprinklers connected to the extinguishing fluid line in a fluid-guiding manner which are closed in a standby state and open in an extinguishing state in order to supply the extinguishing fluid, and a flow-measuring device associated with the extinguishing fluid line. According to the invention, the flow-measuring device is designed to approximately detect a volume flow of the extinguishing fluid transported in the extinguishing fluid line, and an evaluation unit is provided and designed to assign a number of open sprinklers to the approximately detected volume flow.

Fire-extinguishing facility, fire-extinguishing system comprising same, and method for determining the extent of a fire

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.
