Passive Fire Protection

Passive Fire Protection (PFP) involves building features designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, and to protect structural integrity during a fire. This includes elements like fire-resistant walls, floors, doors, and coatings that contain or slow the fire’s progress. PFP works automatically without human intervention, providing critical time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. It aims to safeguard lives, minimize property damage, and maintain building stability in the event of a fire. Proper passive fire protection is essential for complying with safety regulations and enhancing overall fire safety management.
