Les mécaniciens et les mécaniciennes en protection-incendie installent des systèmes à base d’eau dans les bâtiments institutionnels, commerciaux, industriels et résidentiels. Ces systèmes utilisent l’eau comme partie intégrante de l’agent de suppression. Ils suppriment avant tout la chaleur du feu pour éteindre ou maîtriser l’incendie.
