Passive Fire

What is a passive fire protection system?

Whilst it’s essential to ensure you have active fire protection systems in place, to detect and stop fires, it’s equally as important to have a comprehensive passive fire protection system in place too.

A passive fire protection system will not only contain the fire but also prevent it from spreading further. Therefore, it’s imperative that your building is equipped with both fire safety systems.
