Fire prevention refers to the design, planning, building, operation and maintenance of structures and materials, and training of personnel for fire safety. In particular, life safety is the primary goal, often by separating fire hazards from people who could be injured, and providing for rapid escape of any people who may be at risk during a potential fire.
Firefighting (or fire suppression) refers to the actions necessary to rescue people from fire, isolate the fire and extinguish it. Those actions may include hiring, equipping, training and deploying firefighters under proper supervision.
