What is passive fire protection?

A Passive Fire Protection (PFP) job involves installing and maintaining fire-resistant materials and systems that help contain fire and smoke within a building. This includes fire doors, fire-resistant walls, fire-stopping seals, and intumescent coatings. PFP specialists ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and work to improve a building’s structural integrity during a fire. Their role is crucial in slowing fire spread, giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
