Stopping Fire Before It Spreads
Not every fire safety measure is designed to respond to a fire in progress — some are built into the structure itself to contain it before it spreads. That's the role of passive fire protection: a network of fire and smoke barriers, doors and sealing systems engineered to compartmentalise a building, slowing the spread of fire and smoke between areas.
Flaming North Fire Protection services, installs, maintains and certifies passive fire and smoke containment systems for businesses across North Queensland, including Townsville, Cairns and the Western Region, helping protect lives, property and structural integrity in the event of a fire.
Call our Cairns branch on (07) 4725 6672 or our Townsville branch on (07) 4054 6905 to discuss passive fire protection for your building.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between active and passive fire protection?
Active fire protection systems, such as sprinklers and alarms, detect and respond to a fire in progress. Passive fire protection is built into the structure itself, using barriers and fire-resistant materials to contain fire and smoke spread, without needing to be triggered.
Why do fire doors need to be self-closing and self-latching?
Fire doors must be self-closing and self-latching to ensure they remain closed and sealed in the event of a fire, preventing the spread of smoke and flames. A fire door left open or improperly latched cannot provide effective passive fire protection.
What structural elements are considered part of passive fire protection?
Structural fire-resistant elements, including beams, columns, girders and trusses, are considered part of passive fire protection. These elements are designed to maintain structural integrity during a fire, helping to prevent building collapse and allowing safe evacuation and emergency response.
