    FIRE PROTECTION

     This is an activity directed


    towards limiting the spread of
    fire or its place of origin by
    restoring to design
    compartmentation utilization
    of resistive materials,provision
    of safe means of escape.
    FIRE PREVENTION

     This is an activity directed


    towards elimination of
    possible and potential sources
    of fire.
