Fire Protection Solutions to Limit Fire Occurrence

Fire is one of the accidents that causes great damage to property and life, especially in high-rise buildings and crowded residential areas. To minimize the risk of fire and limit the extent of damage, the application of fire protection solutions is extremely necessary. One of the most important factors in these solutions is fire doors, which help prevent the spread of fire and protect the safety of residents. In this article, we will learn about effective fire protection solutions, from choosing and installing fire doors to using fireproof materials and modern technology to reduce the risk of fire.

Fire doors – An important solution in fire prevention

Fire doors are considered one of the important elements in the fire prevention system of each building. They play a role in preventing fire and smoke from spreading, while providing valuable time for residents to escape safely. Fire doors are often made from fire-resistant materials such as steel, heat-resistant wood, and insulation layers.

Main features of fire doors:

• Heat resistance: Fire doors are designed to withstand high temperatures, maintaining their shape and features throughout the fire.
• Fire resistance time: Fire doors can last from 60 to 120 minutes, enough for residents and rescue teams to escape.
• Smoke prevention: In addition to preventing fire, fire doors also prevent toxic smoke – the leading cause of death in fires.

Applications of fire doors:

• Apartment fire doors: Installed in corridors, emergency exits, and public areas in apartment buildings.
• Fire rolling doors: Used in industrial or warehouse areas to prevent fire from spreading to areas containing flammable goods.
• Fireproof steel doors: Popular in office and commercial buildings.

Fireproof materials – The key to safety

Fireproof panels

In addition to fire doors, fireproof materials play an important role in limiting the spread of fire. These materials are often used in the construction of walls, ceilings, floors and other structures of the building.

Some common fireproof materials:

• Fireproof panels: Used to cover the outside of walls and ceilings to create a protective layer against high temperatures.
• Fireproof duct covers: Prevent fire from spreading through ventilation and air conditioning systems.
• Fireproof solutions: Used to spray on flammable surfaces such as wood and fabric to reduce the risk of fire.

Fireproof standards for steel structures

Currently, high-rise buildings often use steel structures to ensure durability. However, steel has the weakness of poor heat resistance. When exposed to high temperatures, steel can lose its load-bearing capacity and lead to the collapse of the building. Therefore, applying fireproof standards for steel structures is very important.

Methods to protect steel structures:

• Using fireproof paint: This type of paint has the ability to expand when exposed to high temperatures, forming a protective layer to insulate the steel.
• Fireshieldpro insulation panels: KH Shield insulation panels such as KHS.HF.M and KHS.MPS48 all meet high fire resistance standards, protecting steel structures from extreme temperatures.

Fire protection solutions combined with technology

Modern technology plays an increasingly important role in preventing and controlling fires. Automatic fire alarm devices and systems help detect fire risks early and promptly warn residents.

Modern fire protection technologies:

• Smoke and heat sensors: Automatically detect changes in temperature and smoke levels to activate the alarm system.
• Automatic sprinkler system: When the sensor detects fire, the system will spray water to extinguish or control the fire before it spreads.
• Fire ventilation system: Helps remove smoke quickly, keeping escape routes safe and suffocating-free.

Strengthening Fire Prevention Training and Awareness

One of the core factors in reducing the risk of fire is raising people’s awareness of fire prevention. Training on fire doors and other fire protection solutions will help residents, office workers, and workers in industrial zones better understand the importance of fire prevention.

• Instructions for proper use of fire doors: Ensure that the doors are always ready and not damaged.
• Fire drills: Conduct regular drills so that everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire.
