FAQ
Passive fire protection encompasses a range of structural features and materials integrated into buildings to contain the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases. Unlike active fire protection systems, which require manual intervention or activation, passive fire protection works silently in the background, providing a robust defense against the rapid progression of fire.
