All about passive fire protection

Fire protection is a crucial part of building safety and can be divided into two main categories: active and passive fire protection. While both play vital roles, they work in different ways to protect against fire.

What is passive fire protection?

Passive fire protection refers to the materials and techniques used in buildings to prevent or slow the spread of fire and smoke. These methods are built into the structure of the building itself and include elements such as fire doors, fire walls, and special fire-resistant materials and methods such as steel fireproofing.

Passive fire protection is not just a statutory measure; it is a crucial part of building safety. It ensures that the building structure can withstand fire for a set period of time, giving occupants and users time to evacuate safely.

What is active fire protection

Active fire protection includes systems and devices that actively detect and fight fire. When working with active fire protection, it is especially important to focus on early detection of fire so that it can be alerted as soon as possible. Next, it’s how the fire can be fought. Fire alarms and ceiling sprinkler systems are the most well-known systems in active fire protection. In addition, we see more and more buildings with a red fire sprinkler on the wall, which is also under active fire protection.

In the event of a fire, active fire protection is also about helping people out of the fire. This can be done by escape route luminaires that light up over doors and exits, designed to guide and help people away from the fire and out of the building. These are the common measures, but there are many more.

Examples of passive fire protection

Passive fire protection refers to the design elements and materials built into the building structure to resist or limit the spread of fire and smoke. Passive fire suppression includes:

  • Fire doors: Automatic closure prevents the spread of fire.
  • Fire walls: Robust barriers restrict fire and smoke.
  • Fire-retardant materials: Used in construction to slow the progress of fire.
  • Linear joints and fire sealing: Ensures tight transitions and openings against the spread of fire.
  • Fire protection of installation shafts: Protects vital installation routes against fire.

Examples of active fire protection

Active fire protection includes all systems and devices that actively intervene to detect or fight fire. These include:

  • Fire alarms: Ensures early warning of fire for faster firefighting capabilities.
  • Smoke detectors: Detects smoke and initiates an alarm.
  • Sprinkler systems: Automatic fire suppression upon detection of heat.
  • Fire hydrants: Accessible extinguishing equipment for quick intervention.
  • Evacuation plans and guidance: Ensures effective evacuation of people.

Who is responsible for fire protection?

Fire protection is a crucial factor in building safety and it is important to understand who is responsible for implementing and maintaining effective fire protection systems.

Responsibilities in fire protection

Responsibility for fire protection can vary depending on the type, use and geographical location of the building. In general, it includes:

  • Building owners: Have primary responsibility for ensuring the building complies with all fire safety regulations.
  • Tenants: Must comply with fire safety measures and report any issues.
