Fire / Smoke Protection Systems Passive systems: prevent fires Passive systems: prevent fires Fire and smoke barriers Fire and smoke barriers Finishes and furniture Finishes and furniture Active systems: once a fire has started Active systems: once a fire has started Detection Detection Extinguishing / Suppression Extinguishing / Suppression Emergency lighting Emergency lighting Exiting systems: architectural elements Exiting systems: architectural elements Means of egress Means of egress

3. Compartmentation  “Compartmentation”  Passive fire protection means  The separation of areas in a building to control fire and smoke  Use Wall, Floor, and Ceiling Assemblies  “Fire resistance” (of assemblies) vs. “fire protection” (of penetrations in those assemblies)  “Fire barriers” (for compartmentation) vs. “fire and smoke partitions” (not specific to egress; residential, tenant spaces)
