Firestopping is a system of materials designed to limit the effects of a fire in a building. While a fire may not be avoidable, firestopping can slow or stop a fire in its tracks. This can give people in the building more time to escape and limit the amount of damage caused by a fire. It can also keep property owners remain compliant with local and state fire codes.
Passive vs. Active Fire Protection
There are two common types of fire protection:
Active fire protection refers to the methods aimed at preventing or minimizing a fire by taking direct action. Examples include fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors and sprinklers.
Passive fire protection is a technique that breaks up a building into compartments to reduce the spread of fire, smoke and heat throughout the building. Passive fire protection may involve commercial firestopping systems.
In some cases, commercial properties require a combination of active and passive fire protection methods. Our contractors can discuss your needs and install the right systems for you.
