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.

What is the difference between a fire wall and a fire barrier smoke limiting wall?

A firewall is a structural barrier designed to prevent the spread of fire between different sections of a building, providing a high level of fire resistance and often extending from the foundation to the roof. In contrast, a fire barrier smoke limiting wall primarily aims to limit the passage of smoke and hot gases, while still offering some level of fire resistance, but not to the same extent as a firewall. Fire barriers can be used to compartmentalize spaces for smoke control, whereas firewalls are meant to safeguard against fire propagation.


What is difference between fire entry suit and proximity suit?

A fire entry suit is designed for firefighters to enter and extinguish fires in confined spaces, providing protection from heat and flames. On the other hand, a proximity suit is used by workers in industries like steel and foundries to work near high-temperature sources such as molten metal, providing insulation and radiant heat protection. The key difference lies in the intended use and the level of protection required for each suit.
