Winter is officially here, which means its a good idea to make sure that your fire
protection systems are properly working for the cold weather.There are two
types of fire protection systems, Active Fire Protection (AFP) and Passive Fire
Protection (PFP). Its important that both systems are properly working in the
event of a fire. Active and passive fire protection systems are meant to work
together during a fire, not one in place of the other. But, there still may be some
confusion about the differences between active and passive fire protection.
Active Fire Protection is a group of systems that require some amount of action
in order to work efficiently in the event of a fire. These actions may be manually
operated, like a fire extinguisher or automatic, like a sprinkler. So, when fire and
smoke is detected in a facility, a fire/smoke alarm will alert those who are inside
the building and work to actively put out or slow the fire. Sprinkler systems and
fire extinguishers help slow the growth of the fire untilfirefighter have a chance
to get there. Once firefighters arrive, they use fire extinguishers and fire hoses to
put out the fire altogether.
