Fire Protection - Introduction
Introduction: The definition of fire protection of a building
refers to the building ability to detect, withstand, prevent
and reduce any damage caused by a sudden un expected fire
whether man made or non-man made.

Passive Fire ProtectionPassive Fire Protection (PFP) is an integral component ofthe three components of structural, fire protection and firesafety in a building. PFP attempts to contain fires or slowdown the spread through use of fire–resistant walls, floorsand fire rated doors.
PFP are known as building materials that are always presentand available within the building, placed and located evenlyevery floors of the building.These materials do not rely on theoperation of any mechanical device in order to be activated ortriggered.

Passive Fire Protection – AimThese materials are used within the construction of the buildingin the aim to :
Contain the growth and spread of fire within the building with use of firerated walls and doorsReduce the amount of damages of the building inflicted by the fireDelaying the collapse of the building structureReduce the possible life and health risks of the building occupants and thefire fighters.Therefore it provides the building the strength to withstand fire for a certainperiod of time, ensuring the safe evacuation of its occupants and the safetyof the building surrounding it.

Passive Fire Protection – Fire Door
A fire door is a door with a fire-resistance rating used as part of apassive fire protection system toreduce the spread of fire and smokebetween separate compartments of astructure and to enable safe egressfrom a building or structure or ship

Active Fire Protection
Fire can be controlled or extinguished, either manually (fire fighting) orautomatically. Manual control includes the use of a fire extinguisher ora standpipe system. Automatic control means can include a firesprinkler system, a gaseous clean agent, or firefighting foam system.Automatic suppression systems would usually be found in largecommercial kitchens or other high-risk areas.
