    Active fire protection systems require direct activation to extinguish or control a fire, such as sprinklers or fire alarms. Passive fire protection systems help prevent fire spread without human intervention through compartmentalization using fire-rated walls and doors. Together, active systems alarm occupants and actively fight the fire while passive systems contain the fire until responders arrive.

    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.

    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.
