Is it possible to build a fire proof building?
No. You can help fire proof a building. But there is always a chance it can catch on fire somehow. Fire sprinklers are only used to keep the fire under control so it doesn't spread...they are not used to put the fire entirely out. Firefighters are for that. Anything that you use to fire proof a building is only used to keep the fire under control until the Firefighters arrive. The closest you can get to a fireproof building is a brick one with a terracotta tile roof.
What is a quick response fire sprinkler?
A quick response fire sprinkler is a fire sprinkler designed to react immediately upon sensing a fire. Typically quick response fire sprinklers are heat activated, where heat from a fire melts a fusible link that allows the fire extinguishant (usually water in the case of fire sprinklers) to put out the fire quickly. Fire sprinkler systems are an important part of a building's total fire protection system, which should also include fire alarms, fire extinguishers and, where appropriate, specialized fire suppression systems.
what is the regulation for emergancy call phones in a factory of 800+ people. or is the fire pull box enough?

How do you make steel fire resistant?
When you make steel fire resistant, you are actually protecting it from heat--steel, in a fire, does not burn. There are three ways: The old-fashioned way was to encase the steel in concrete, as was done when the Empire State Building was built. The Fire Department of New York calls the Empire State Building the most fireproof building in America. Then came fluffy, spray-on fire retardants. Asbestos was used for some years until it was banned. The current best technology is intumescent paint--when it's heated to a certain temperature, it foams up and provides an insulating layer.
How are sprinklers connected in a fire protection system?
Sprinklers in a fire protection system are connected to a network of pipes filled with water. When a fire is detected, the heat activates the sprinkler heads, releasing water to extinguish the flames.
A sprinkler system protects a building against what?
The spread of fire. Takamo added: Fire... But one would question why would there be sprinklers through out a building, if the fire broke out in the kitchen, would they all come on? The answerer is no. Sprinklers are installed in "zones". If a fire broke out in the kitchen, then the sprinklers would operate in the kitchen, and the rooms adjacent to the kitchen as a preventative measure. Each of sprinklers have a "trigger" that with heat, they bend or melt so that the valve opens. When the remaining sprinklers on the circuit detect a momentary drop in pressure, they open as well. Zones have an additional measure as well. Zones usually over-lap each other in that each zone will have one sprinkler from an adjacent zone so that if in spite of the preventative zones release of water, and the fire spreads into that zone as well, then the one sprinkler from the next zone will activate the others in the corresponding adjacent zones. So...If the fire broke out in the kitchen, then the rooms surrounding the kitchen will activate. If the fire spreads into an adjacent room, then the one sprinkler that didn't activate will, to inhibit the fire from spreading to those rooms as well.
What are Firesprinklers?
Fire sprinklers are the hangy down, flower looking things that you see on the ceilings of most commercial buildings. They are required by building codes, to restrict the advance of the fire, giving the occupants additional time to get out of the building. Terry P.S. Opinions are usually worth exactly what you pay for them!
