Fire protection
Fire protection is defined by Wikipedia as the study of the behavior, compartmentalization, suppression and investigation of fire and its related emergencies as well as the research and development, production, testing and application of mitigating systems. For homes and families, this just means there are professional engineers out there figuring out the best materials and ways of protecting buildings from total devastation from fire.
Fire protection in the home mean installing smoke alarms, purchasing doors and windows rated for fire resistance. Engineers and code officials use the term when referring only to fire sprinkler systems, not fire alarm or advance smoke detection.
The fire protection industry wants to ensure:
• Life safety
• Property protection
• Continuing operations in the event of a fire
