What is fire protection?

Fire protection is the planning of safety and safe operations. It aims to implement safety drills and practices for fire control and provide education and create awareness on the risks of fire and how to deal with it if or when it occurs. It also aims to produce fire-resistant materials for the construction of buildings and put them into practice.
Fire protection focuses on studying the fire, how a fire is caused, how to get rid of the fire and the equipment that can be used to put out the fire. It also focuses on implementing the use of fire alarms and smoke alarms, first aid and firefighting skills. It also focuses on designing the construction of the whole house using fire retardant materials.

This plywood is not only fire-fighting, but it also has the ability to stop the spread of fire and is self-extinguishing. They are extremely sturdy, long-lasting, and of high quality, ensuring the safety of your building and you from fires.
- Firefighting training: We are never sure as to when, where and how a fire will break out, so it is always safe and good to have some basic knowledge and training about how to react and what to do when a fire breaks out. This helps in minimizing the fire to a great extent.
- Evacuation plan: An evacuation plan with an emergency exit can never go wrong in times of getting yourself to a safe plan when a fire breaks out in the building. These routes not only save you from the fire but will also help you get to safety quicker.
- Signage and markings: The signs or markings that show the way to the emergency exit and the route to safety are also needed. These signs or markings help the new people and others too in finding their exit and way out.
