FIRE AND FIRE PROTECTION

Fire in Buildings is an
uncontrolled combustion
process that occurs
within a building,
resulting in flames, heat,
and smoke. Fires in
buildings can cause
substantial damage to
property, loss of life, and
serious injuries. They can
spread rapidly, especially
in confined spaces, and if
not contained, can lead
to catastrophic
consequences.
Fire Hazards
is any actions, materials or conditions that might increase the size or severity of a
fire or that might cause a fire to start.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR BUILDING FIRES

Implementing preventive measures is crucial to minimize the risk of fires in the buildings.
Effective fire prevention requires a proactive approach, with regular maintenance, safety
awareness, and strict adherence to fire codes and safety protocols.

FIRE PROTECTION

encompasses the various systems, strategies, and practices aimed at preventing fires,
controlling their spread, and protecting people and property from fire-related harm. Effective fire
protection combines methods to detect fires early, control or extinguish them, and allow safe
evacuation of occupants.

ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM


SYSTEM
ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

- refers to systems that require a trigger or activation to function, either manually or


automatically. These systems actively work to detect, suppress, or extinguish fires.

Fire Fire Extinguishers


Sprinklers
PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM

- involves building materials, designs, and methods that prevent the spread
of fire and smoke within a building. Unlike active systems, passive fire protection
components do not require activation

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION


SYSTEM examples

1. Fire resistant walls and


partitions.

2. Fire resistant doors

3. Fire resistant doors and ceilings

4. Fire resistant coating

5. Fire stopping/Sealing materials.
