What is a Passive Fire Inspection?

Passive fire protection refers to the built-in elements of a building that are designed to contain or slow the spread of fire and smoke — things like fire doors, fire-rated walls, penetration seals, and smoke barriers.

Unlike active systems such as sprinklers or alarms, passive fire systems work automatically without any mechanical trigger. That's why regular inspection and maintenance is critical to ensuring they perform when it matters most.
