The objective of this study is to understand the effect of extinguishing building fires with waterjets and how the presences of steel fibres in concrete influence the performance. This paper presents the findings with regard to the influence of cooling method adopted to cool steel fibre reinforced concrete which was exposed to elevated temperatures. In order to create the temperatures in a real fire environment, a total of 102 cube specimens with a dimension of 150 mm were cast and heated from 100 to 800°C with an interval of 100°C. The specimens were steadily exposed for 3 hours after attaining their respective temperature and were cooled by their assigned method. (i.e. air cooling and water quenching). The cubes were tested with the help of a compressive testing machine and the results were discussed.
