Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to building systems and materials that contain the spread of fire and smoke without requiring manual operation. Unlike active systems such as sprinklers, PFP works through the building’s own structure — compartmentation, firestopping, fire-resistant doors, and structural fire protection — slowing the spread of fire and protecting escape routes.
Firestopping is the process of sealing openings and penetrations in fire-rated walls and floors — anywhere that cables, pipes, ducts, or other services pass through a compartment boundary. Without proper sealing, these penetrations become pathways through which fire and smoke can spread rapidly. Firestopping uses approved materials and systems to restore the fire resistance rating.
