Compare and contrast Active fire protection system and passive fire protection system?

Active Fire Protection may be a group of systems that require a few sums of action in arrange to
work effectively within the occasion of a fire. These activities may be physically worked, like a
fire quencher, or automatic, like a sprinkler. So, when fire and smoke is recognized in a office, a
fire/smoke caution will caution those who are interior the building and work to effectively put out
or moderate the fire. Sprinkler systems and fire quenchers aid slow the development of the fire until
firefighter have a chance to induce there. Once firefighters arrive, they utilize fire quenchers and fire
hoses to put out the fire through and through.

Passive Fire Protection may be a group of systems that compartmentalize a building through the utilize of
fire-resistance appraised dividers and floors, keeping the fire from spreading rapidly and providing time
to elude for individuals within the building. Dampers are used in an office's conduits to avoid the spread
of fire/smoke all through the building’s ductwork framework. Fire entryways help compartmentalize a
building, whereas giving its tenants implies eluding. Fire dividers and floors help partitioned the building
into compartments to halt the spread of fire/smoke from room to room. For buildings
with different floors, photoluminescent departure way markers help light the way to security in dim and
smoky stairwells.

With Fire Protection system Without Fire protection system

As you can see on the chart above the building without fire protection system has 18.2% of fires
spread beyond the room of fire origin, 17.4% of fires spread beyond the fire rated compartment
and 14.7% of fires spread beyond the floor of fire origin while the building with a fire protection
system has 3.7% of fires spread beyond the room of fire origin, 1.4% of fires spread beyond the
fire rated compartment and .7% of fires spread beyond the floor of fire origin.
The chart symbolizes how important the fire protection system on a building, houses, and other
infrastructure so that we can prevent the severe damage of property in our area, and we can
also prevent fire with the help of other prevention tools and equipment of active and passive fire
protection system.
