Claim 15:
16. A method for implementing a fire damper for a generator enclosure, the method including:
coupling a closure spring to a closing mechanism of the fire damper, wherein the closure spring is configured to move the closing mechanism of the fire damper along a track to a closed position;
applying a force to the closure spring to place the closing mechanism in an opened position; and
attaching a fused link to the closing mechanism in the open position, wherein the fused link prevents the transition of the closing mechanism from the open position to the closed position along the track,
wherein the fused link is configured to break at a predetermined temperature which provides the transition of the closing mechanism from the open position to the closed position along the track under the force of the closure spring.
