Protection?
 Fire Protection is the
study and practice of
mitigating the
unwanted effects of
potentially
destructive fires.

 The study of the

behaviour, suppression
and investigation of
fire and its related
What is Fire
Protection
System?
 Approved devices,
equipment and systems
or combinations of
systems used to detect
a fire, activate an
alarm, extinguish or
control a fire,
control or manage
smoke and products
of a fire or any
combination thereof.

Fire Protection

1.Active Fire
Protection
2.Passive Fire
Protection
3.Fire Detection
1. Active Fire
Protection
 Manual and
automatic
detection
and
suppression
of fires,
such as
fire
sprinkler
systems and
fire alarm
systems.

 Can be
categorize
Fire Suppression
System
 A system wherein fire
can be controlled or
extinguished either
manually (fire
fighting) or
automatically.
 Common manual and
automatic means:
 Examples of
Manual
Suppression
System
 Fire Blanket
 Fire Bucket
 Fire
Extinguisher
Fire Blanket
 A safety
device
designed
to
extinguish
small
incipient
(starting)
fires.

 It consists
of a sheet
of fire
retardant
Fire Bucket
 A bucket
filled with
water or
sand which
is used to
prevent or
extinguish
small
fires.

 Typically,
fire
buckets
are painted
Fire
Extinguisher
 An active
fire
protection
device
used to
extinguish
or control
small
fires,
often in
emergency
situations.

Condensed
Aerosol Fire
Suppression
 A particle-
based form
of fire
extinction
similar to
gaseous fire
suppression
or dry
chemical
fire
extinction.

 Employs a

measure,
consisting
of a
water
supply
system,
providing
adequate
pressure
and flow
Gaseous Fire
Suppression
 A term to
describe
the use of
inert gases
and
chemical
agents to
extinguish
a fire.

 Also called
Clean Agent
Fire
Suppression.
2. Passive
Fire Protection
 The
installati
on of
fire-
resistant
walls,
floors,
and doors
intended
to limit
and slow
the
