Fire Protection Design & Engineering
A good and adequate fire protection system installation starts with a good fire protection engineering design.
Fire protection engineers use science and technology to protect people and property from fire.
When designing new buildings or renovations to existing buildings, fire protection engineers develop the plan for fire protection.
Fire protection engineering has evolved significantly over the past several centuries.
Early application of fire protection engineering was intended to prevent conflagrations, which could destroy entire cities.
Until the early 1900s, the primary objective of fire protection engineering was to limit a fire to its building of origin.
As fire protection engineering advanced, this objective was refined to limit a fire to its object or room of origin.
