What Is Fire Compartmentation?
Fire compartmentation is vital to ensuring the safety of occupants and minimising the spread of fire and smoke. It involves the strategic construction of fire-resistant walls and the division of areas within a building into separate compartments. These compartments act as barriers, preventing the rapid spread of fire and smoke. This protects escape routes to give adequate time to evacuate the building.
Imagine a scenario where a fire breaks out in one area of your building. With well-designed compartmentation in place, the fire's progression can be limited, allowing occupants in other compartments to evacuate safely and reducing the risk of widespread damage. Compartmentation provides a crucial line of defence against the devastating effects of fire and smoke, protecting lives, assets, and investments.
