The basis for the protection of every building is properly implemented passive and active fire protection . When we talk about fire protection, we mainly think about active measures such as fire extinguishers and sprinklers. However, for a building to be properly secured, they must work alongside more hidden passive measures. If passive fire protection is omitted, the fire may spread through the installations throughout the building.

Why is building fire protection important?
The use of fire protection systems in buildings is extremely important to protect the health and life of their users. Adequate fire protection in buildings is a legal and regulatory requirement. Many jurisdictions introduce regulations regarding minimum fire safety standards that must be met by building owners and managers. Compliance with these regulations is intended to ensure the safety of residents and visitors to buildings.
This is regulated by technical requirements resulting from the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure on the technical conditions of buildings. It is a legal requirement to have fire protection measures in buildings (for both residential and non-residential properties).
Fire protection is crucial to protecting property. Fires can cause huge material losses, destruction of buildings, and even complete loss of property. Thanks to appropriate fire protection systems, it is possible to respond quickly and minimize damage.
What determines the level of fire resistance in a building?
The level of fire resistance and its rules depend 
depending on the type of building, its purpose and construction time - however, a certain level is required, both in the case of active and passive fire protection, to comply with the regulations. Passive fire protection measures include all types of protection for expansion joints, electrical installation penetrations and all types of pipelines, including:
- heating,
- refrigeration,
- sewage,
- air conditioning,
- ventilation.
