Passive fire protection (PFP) refers to the elements of a building’s structure designed to contain or slow the spread of fire, smoke, and heat. These include fire doors, fire-resistant walls, and floors, as well as fire-resistant coatings on steel structures. Unlike active fire protection systems like sprinklers or alarms, passive fire protection relies on the physical structure of a building to prevent or delay the spread of fire, giving occupants more time to evacuate and helping to limit damage to the building.
