Hi,
What type of fire alarm system and fire suppression system do you recommend for metro depot?
The metro depot is like below photo:

For FAS, I guess I can use smoke detectors where air stream is not an issue but where it's subject to air stream, flame detector is the only option

For Fire Fighting System: sprinklers+standpipes+fire extinguishers(powder+CO2)

I would appreciate it if you correct my assumptions

I´ve never used it but video flame detection seem to be an application for such a place. I guess an electrical cable insulation fire with most smoke should be the detection goal. So flame detectors would not be a great choice. I´ve seen in DTech-fire webb site some examples in Dubai.
