1. An oil, water and gas separator assembly connected to a fire extinguishing assembly comprising:
a vessel having an interior surface delimiting an open area;
a firetube in said vessel open area;
a fire extinguishing agent source of supply, wherein said fire extinguishing agent source of supply comprises a containment, and wherein said fire extinguishing agent resides in said containment;
a first fire extinguishing agent supply line in fire extinguishing agent receiving relationship to said fire extinguishing agent source of supply; said first fire extinguishing agent supply line having a fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice; said first fire extinguishing agent supply line connects to said containment;
a first hollow area delimited by said separator assembly; said first fire extinguishing agent supply line exhaust orifice disposed in said first hollow area delimited by said separator assembly;
a second fire extinguishing agent supply line connected to said containment; said second fire extinguishing agent supply line having a fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice;
a second hollow area delimited by said separator assembly; said second fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice disposed in said second hollow area delimited by said separator assembly;
a third fire extinguishing agent supply line connected to said containment; said third fire extinguishing agent supply line having a fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice; and wherein,
said third fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice disposed in an environment external to said separator assembly, said environment proximate a first end of said vessel and distal a second end of said vessel;
a flame arrestor connected to said firetube; wherein, said flame arrestor resides proximate said first end of said vessel and distal said second end of said vessel;
a first sensor operatively coupled to said separator assembly, said sensor configured to indicate an indication;
a processor system operatively coupled to said first sensor and configured to process said indication from said first sensor; and wherein,
when said indication, after processing by the processor system, indicates, alone or in companion with other indications, an unwanted fire condition, the processor system actuates the movement of fire extinguishing agent in said containment into said first fire extinguishing agent supply line and through said first fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice; and into said second fire extinguishing agent supply line and through said second fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice; and into said third fire extinguishing agent supply line and through said third fire extinguishing agent exhaust orifice.
