Passive fire protection (PFP) is a system designed to contain or slow down the spread of fire and smoke in a building. Unlike active fire protection systems, such as fire sprinklers or fire extinguishers, which require a human or automated response to function, PFP systems are designed to function automatically without human intervention.
Passive fire protection is an important component of a building’s fire safety system. It is designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke, allowing occupants to safely evacuate the building and giving firefighters time to control the fire. It is important to ensure that PFP systems are properly installed and maintained to ensure that they can effectively provide protection in the event of a fire.
