Systems versus Emergency Response

There are three main strategies in providing adequate fire protection of a facility. These are  [Pg.18]

An active fire protection system requires some action to occur before it functions per its design intent. This action may be taken by either a person or control system. Examples of active fire protection systems are monitors, water spray systems, foam systems, emergency isolation valves, and ESD systems. [Pg.18]

A passive fire protection system requires no action to occur for it to function per its design intent. Examples of passive fire protection methods are fireproofing, spill containment, and physical separation of units and buildings. [Pg.18]

Additional information on active and passive systems is contained in Chapter 7. [Pg.18]

Active fire protection systems can be installed to provide the desired mitigation by either manual or automatic activation. [Pg.18]
