The history of fire prevention dates back to ancient civilizations, where early methods included creating firebreaks and using materials resistant to fire in construction. The Great Fire of London in 1666 prompted significant reforms, leading to the establishment of fire codes and organized firefighting services. Over time, advancements in technology and understanding of fire behavior have led to the development of modern fire prevention strategies, including building regulations, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems. Today, fire prevention continues to evolve with a focus on education, safety standards, and innovative technologies.
