What is Passive Fire Protection?
Passive Fire Protection describes measures installed that slow the spread and contain a fire using fire doors, fire resistant floors, walls and other systems. This helps to protect different areas of the property and allows those inside to escape safely. Passive Fire Protection provides valuable time in order for the emergency services to arrive at the scene of the fire and work within a safer environment. A fire that is allowed to spread will damage the structural integrity of the building, and stopping or slowing the spread will ultimately protect the building and its contents.
How Does Passive Fire Protection Differ From Active Fire Protection?
Whilst Passive Fire Protection is concerned with protecting against fire risks and containing fire to prevent spread across a property, Active Fire Protection focuses on detection, firestopping and escape. Passive protective systems employ fire doors, fire-resistant flooring and materials and cavity barriers that limit the spread of fire and help to contain it. Active protection makes use of fire alarms, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers and emergency escapes. Active protection requires ‘an action.’
