Fire resistance refers to the durability of the material under fire conditions, such as a wall, floor or windows, which may prevent the spread of fire.

Fire protection refers to the combination of systems that prevent fire from occurring or spreading, which could include fire resistant materials as well as sprinkler systems, separation of hazards, fire extinguishers, alarms, and so forth.
