A typical compartmentation system uses fire-rated doors and walls. The objective of these partitions is to contain fire from spreading horizontally. The fire rating of the wall ranges from 20 minutes to four hours, and can be calculated for fire exposure on one side of the wall. Alternatively, fire-rated doors and walls can be designed…
Proactive fire protection means monitoring your fire safety regime to identify potential issues before they occur. Proactive fire protection measures minimize disruptions and protect occupants, staff and visitors. Preventive maintenance and diagnostics help keep your systems in top working order. The goal is to minimize disruption during a fire while providing the best possible protection…
Passive and Active systems are two types of fire protection systems. These types of systems contain stationary materials that prevent smoke and fire from spreading. They are sometimes used in conjunction with active systems to protect a structure. Passive systems provide the most protection against fire and smoke when used alone or in combination with…
When you are looking for the best fire protection system for your business, there are several different options available. These options include Smoke and fire curtains, ARCS, and Active fire protection systems. In this article, we will explore each of these methods in detail. Also, we’ll discuss the importance of maintaining a fire safety program…
Fire Protection is the study and practice of preventing or limiting the effects of fire. Fire protection includes smoke purge and post-fire systems, as well as life safety systems. There are many different kinds of fire protection systems, including passive and active. But, which is the best option for your home or office? And what…
What is Fire Protection? Fire Protection is the science of fires and how to minimize their effects. This science also deals with smoke control, fire suppression, and extinguishing systems. Whether you need to prevent a fire or just protect your building from smoke damage, we’ll cover it in this article. Whether you’re interested in passive…
The process of reducing the fire’s growth is called Active fire protection. These methods work by creating physical barriers against smoke and flame. The second method, known as passive fire protection, spreads continuous streams of water over the fire. Passive systems also have an aesthetic benefit. Air sampling systems provide both fire protection and aesthetics.…
Fire Smoke Extraction This article discusses several key aspects of fire smoke extraction systems. These include CFD-FDS simulation, performance of natural vents with and without make-up air, and maintenance of mechanical exhaust vents. This article also discusses how to optimize smoke extraction efficiency. Listed below are some of the key points to remember when choosing…
The Benefits of a Fire Alarm System A fire alarm system is a device that will alert people when a fire, carbon monoxide, or other fire-related emergency occurs. These systems may be activated automatically by smoke and heat detectors or manually by pull stations or manual call points. Regardless of how they’re activated, a fire…
Factors to Consider in the Design of Fire Protection Systems The design of fire protection systems involves integrating fire safety strategies with other building-related strategies. An integrated design provides the desired levels of safety. The systems should be identified and prioritized based on their critical functions. This article will examine the factors to consider when…
