Significantly updates the Engineering guidebook (more explicitly the Atmos section) to have a lot more relevant and useful information. Right now engineering has been getting update after update with no real change to the relevant guidebook entry. This has lead to a lot of out of date information and bad practices being prevalent in the guidebook, something that pains me to read.

# Fires
|
|
Fires are arguably the most dangerous atmospheric upset that can occur on the station.

They often make high-pressure and high-temperature gases, which can quickly spread throughout the station if firelocks or doors are opened carelessly, even if only for a moment.
|
|
|
|
If people are caught in a fire, they can quickly become incapacitated, die, and even ash, rendering them unrevivable.

|
## Combating Fires
|
|
The key elements of a fire are fuel and oxygen.
|
|
Removing any of these two elements will extinguish the fire.
|
|
For example, fires that have no oxygen flowing to them will slowly snuff themselves out, and fires that have no fuel will also extinguish themselves.
|
|
|
|
Exposing the fire to space will extinguish it, as all the gas will simply be spaced.

You can then [textlink="fix" link="ExpandingRepairingStation"] the [textlink="spacing" link="Spacing"] and repressurize the area.

## Tips
|
|
- [bold]Know the signs of a future fire.[/bold] If an area is filled with highly flammable gasses, it's only a matter of time before a careless passenger sets it off. Try to isolate the area and scrub the gasses out as quickly as possible.
|
|
- [bold]Prevent the spread of gasses using a holofan projector.[/bold] Letting gasses through a firelock can make other rooms dangerous, even for a moment. This increases the number of rooms you have to fix.
