Passive Fire Protection Plans You Should Know
2
Fire Escape Route
A passive fire protection system should allow
enough time for people to evacuate the building.
Usually evacuation during an emergency requires a
longer time than normal. This is why it is
important that the material of your escape route
should be able to resist the heat of the fire for
a longer time. Hence, escape routes need extra
attention to guarantee smooth evacuation of
people.

Compartmentation And Fire Stopping
Compartmentation is the key element in a passive
fire protection Ireland. Compartmentation means
creation of smaller sections of a building to
constraint fire. If a fire is contained in a
small section, people can safely evacuate from
the building as it will prevent the fire from
spreading to other areas. Make sure that the
walls, floors and ceilings are fire-resistant to
withstand heat.

Smoke Extraction And Ventilation Ducts
Smoke is the main concern in a fire. When smoke
fills an area, it not only hampers visibility but
also hampers the amount of breathable air and
leads to suffocation. Hence, it is vital to get
rid of smoke and slow down the rise of fire. This
is the reason why smoke extraction through ducts
is necessary for safety.
5
Structural Protection
Avoid collapsing of the load bearing structure of
your building. If the building is on fire, the
load bearing structures can deteriorate and
collapse. So, passive fire protection in Ireland
is necessary to be installed. Materials like
steel, timber, concrete, etc provide structural
resistance and save the building from collapsing.
