How does a fire suppression system work?
On fire events, some aircraft have a complex system, usually called a Fire Suppression System.
Where are they located? Do they work automatically, or it is necessary for the crew to activate them?

Why close isolation valve and APU bleed air for engine fire?
For engine fire, the reason to close the packs (affected side) is to prevent smoke from filling up the cabin? But why the Isolation Valve and APU Bleed Air need to be closed too?
