  1. IMPORTANCE OF PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION

  2. What Is Passive Fire Protection? PFA or passive fire protection refers to your building’s components that help prevent the spread of smoke and fire throughout the building. It also ensures the integrity of your building’s structure while facilitating the exit of building occupants and the entrance of fire-fighting personnel. 

  3. What Is Structural Fire Protection? Structural fire protection preserves your building’s structural components’ strength and functionality from fire’s destructive effects. The building must be constructed with the proper materials and treated or coated with fire-retardant materials such as Intumescent sprayed-on epoxy films,  Endothermic building materials like gypsum-based plasters and cementitious products, Phenolic foam, fireproof cladding, etc.

  4. What Is Compartmentation? Compartmentation means dividing building spaces into self-contained units to prevent the spread of fire and smoke to other sections of the building. These compartments provide insularity within a floor and between floors.

  5. Do Passive Fire Protection Systems Require Inspection? Fire Code requires periodic testing for some aspects of your building’s passive fire protection system, such as smoke control or fire dampers. However, even if a fire system doesn’t require regular inspections, an owner is still legally responsible for maintaining his building’s passive fire protection.

  6. Can Passive Fire Protection Systems Be Maintained? While much of the passive protective features are part of the building’s design and construction, their effectiveness can degrade over time and require inspection and maintenance by trained experts for proper functionality.  Penetrations in firewalls that compromise your building’s compartmentation are very common and should be corrected as soon as possible. Fire doors can shift within their frame, and signs for fire equipment or exit instructions can fall or become obstructed.
