N2  - The paper considers the mathematical modelling of compartment fires and the interaction with an activated sprinkler system. Various fire and fire sprinkler models are discussed. Two methods of modelling the spray, namely the Lagrange particle-tracking method and the volume fraction method, are highlighted. The mathematical basis of a computer model, currently under development, is described. The first results obtained with this model are discussed and appear encouraging.<p />
