The basis for the protection of any building is properly executed passive and active fire protection . When talking about fire protection, we mainly think of its active means, such as fire extinguishers and sprinklers. However, for the building to be properly protected, they must work in parallel with more hidden passive means. If passive fire protection is omitted, fire can spread through the installations throughout the building.

Why is building fire protection important?
The use of fire protection systems in buildings is extremely important for the protection of the health and life of their occupants. Adequate protection against building fires is a legal and regulatory requirement. Many jurisdictions introduce regulations on minimum fire safety standards that must be met by building owners and managers. Compliance with these regulations is intended to ensure the safety of building occupants and visitors.
This is regulated by technical requirements resulting from the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure on the technical conditions of buildings. Possession of fire protection measures in buildings is legally required (both in relation to residential and non-residential properties).
Fire protection is crucial to protecting property. Fires can cause huge material losses, building destruction, and even total loss of property. With the right fire protection systems, it is possible to react quickly and minimize damage.
What determines the level of fire resistance in a building?
The level of fire resistance and its principles depend 
on the type of building, its purpose and the time of construction – however, a certain level of both active and passive fire protection is required 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,
- sewer,
- air conditioning,
- ventilation.
