FACTS & FIGURES
The majority of fire-related deaths are caused by smoke inhalation of the toxic gases produced by fires. Actual flames and burns only account for about 30 percent of fire-related deaths and injuries.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that in the United States:
A fire department responds to a fire every 24 seconds
One civilian fire-related injury occurs every 35 minutes
One civilian fire-related death occurs every 144 minutes
Every year in the European Union 4,000 people are killed and 80,000 injured by fire.
The cost of fires to European countries is on average 1% of GDP.
In 2018, 1,389,500 fires resulted in 3,655 civilian deaths and 15,200 injuries. In addition, there were 64 on-duty firefighter death.
Fires destroy assets, cause injuries, and take lives. A fire in the workplace can also mean the termination of jobs, as many of the offices and factories destroyed by fire are never rebuilt. One of the key strategies to maintaining a safe workplace and preventing fires is passive fire
protection.
A fire in your building could mean total devastation – get the facts on passive fire protection to minimize the spread of fire in your facilities.
Six-hundred seventy-nine (679) people were injured, and 84 died, in the MGM Grand Hotel fire in 1980.
Most people are familiar with the basics of fire suppression (sprinklers, fire extinguishers, etc.), but the passive fire protection that actually contains a fire at its point of origin can be invisible and nearly forgotten – until the day you come to truly appreciate and depend on it.
Passive fire protection (PFP), despite its name, is always at work.
Based on compartmentation of fire and preventing collapse through structural fire resistance, when properly installed and maintained, your building’s passive fire protection can save lives and assets, and the building itself.
There are four main areas of passive fire protection:
1. Structural fire protection
Structural fire protection guards essential structural components (such as structural steel and joint systems) from the effects of fire.
This is accomplished with a fireproofing material (spray-on thin-film intumescents, endothermic materials like gypsum-based plasters and cementitious products, mineral wool wraps and insulation, and fireproofing cladding) or building the structure out of concrete products.
2. Compartmentation
Fire barriers, firewalls, fire partitions, and smoke barriers are all included in compartmentation.
3. Opening protection
Fire doors and windows are installed in an opening of a fire barrier to maintain its fire resistance. McHugh explains, “Doors, builders’ hardware, and frames work together to form an effective smoke and fire barrier.”
4. Firestopping materials
These materials are used to limit fire spread through penetrations in a fire barrier.
If the penetration isn’t properly sealed and protected with an appropriate firestop system, the fire barrier is rendered less effective, and fire will spread beyond the compartment of origin.
