Are you aware of the term Passive Fire Protection NSW and is your building protected against fire passively? Yes, fire protection can be of two types, active fire protection, where the fire fighters sprinkles water to stop the fire and passive fire protection, that is taken when the structure is being constructed. With passive fire protection, the fire is not stopped, but the pace at which it spreads over the structure is slowed down giving the fire fighters enough time to control the fire. Let’s, find out the areas of passive fire protection.
Basic areas of passive fire protection NSW
Studies and experience of experts reveal that there are mainly four areas of Passive Fire Protection NSW. They are discussed as below:
• Structural fire protection, where the structure of the building is so designed that when the fire starts it takes up time to spread out. Moreover, then the structure is sprayed with different fire proofing material to slow down the spread of the fire.
• Compartmentalization that includes firewalls, smoke barriers, fire barriers and fire partitions. There may be fire-rated walls made up of concrete or masonry. These barriers are constructed in such way that it stops the spread of fire immediately.
• Opening protection is another area of passive fire protection where fire doors and windows are installed for resisting the fire to get spread inside.
• Fire stopping materials are the final area which applied to the fire barriers so that fire penetration is stopped or at least slowed down.
