The historical development of fire suppression technology evolved in the 1930s since the
application of Halons as a fire extinguishing agent. The fire may cause tremendous losses to
organizations. It affects the chain of businesses and the stability of the economic growth of a
country. The key issues of greenhouse effects and safety and health as well contributes to the
sudden change of the technology of fire extinguishing systems. The establishment of the Montreal
Protocol and Kyoto Protocols controls the producers to develop, supply and use of environmentally
hazardous gasses worldwide. Hence, promote global sustainable for upcoming generations. This
paper is highlighting the reasons gas type fire extinguishing agents extensively used substituting
conventional methods against fire. The fundamental equations of Ozone Depleting Potential and
Global Warming Potential were properly discussed to show how severe these gasses exposed to the
environment. The effectiveness of these gases as a clean agent in extinguishing the fire may
convince prospect users to carry out the decision of changes. Potential extinguishing agents will be
deliberated to investigate their needs as new fire suppression agents. It will be then to be suggested
and recommended for further studies
