1. What is fire-protection systems?

- Fire-protection systems are complicated and sophisticated, and are different for just about
every building. Every well-designed system, whether it is being designed for a new building
or being installed as part of a renovation or retrofit, must be developed with specific
objectives in mind.

2. What is involved in planning for fire protection?

- Planning for fire protection involves an integrated approach in which system designers need
to analyze building components as a total package. In most cases, the analysis needs to go
beyond basic code compliance and the owner’s minimum legal responsibilities for providing
protection.

3. Who are involve in the planning and design process of fire protection system?
- Building ownership and management, architects, engineers, contractors, and consultants all
need to be involved in the planning and design process, and fully understand the issues and
concerns of all other parties.

4. What is code compliance in fire protection system?

- Code compliance is the first objective in any design. Codes are legal minimum requirements;
you have to meet the minimum with any design.

5. What are the goals of typical fire-protection?

- Fire prevention is a function of many fire departments. The goal of fire prevention is to
educate the public to take precautions to prevent potentially harmful fires, and be educated
about surviving them. It is a proactive method of preventing emergencies and reducing the
damage caused by them.

6. What are the basic components fire protection design? Give details.
- Includes detectors, alarms, and suppression or extinguishing systems.

7. According to building codes and life safety code, what determines the level of fire protection
required?
- According to the type of occupancy, the use of the space, and the size and the height of the
building

8. What is the standard specified for specific testing and installation for a fire protection system
must be followed are per published by National Fire Protection Association?
- Some of the standards deal with fire prevention, others concentrate on detection and
suppression systems.
9. What is the level of safety included in the performance designed?
- Often used with multi-level atriums and one-of-a-kind facilities. How quickly fire needs to be
detected, how soon suppression system activates, who will be notified of fire, safest egress
patterns, and unique characteristics of the building id also considered.

10. What are used to analyzed and create a system that respond back for the design of fire
protection system?
- Specific engineering calculations and computer fire modelling

11. What are the requirements for any device that is part of fire-protection system and meant for
occupant use?
- Must be placed at accessible reaching heights and locations and cannot be located so that it
becomes a projection into the accessible path. Signage as well as the type and location of
the operational mechanisms is also important.
