The fire suppression system in a Victorian Mansion house, like any other historical building, would most likely vary depending on the specific house and any updates or installations made over time. However, it is important to note that fire suppression systems as we know them today were not widely present during the Victorian era (1837-1901).
During that time, firefighting primarily relied on manual methods, such as using buckets of water, hand pumps, or even fire extinguishers containing chemicals like soda-acid or foam. Some larger and wealthier Victorian houses might have had a dedicated room or storage area containing fire buckets and equipment.
In some cases, Victorian Mansion houses, especially those of great importance or owned by prominent individuals, might have had added protection measures like fireproof safes or fire-resistant building materials. However, the concept of a comprehensive fire suppression system involving automatic sprinklers, smoke detectors, or fire alarms did not exist in the Victorian era.
That said, it's essential to consult specific historical records or speak with experts familiar with the particular Victorian Mansion you are referring to for more accurate information on fire suppression systems in a specific house.
