Fire Doors & Passive Fire Systems
Passive fire protection systems are built into the structure of a building to prevent the spread of fire and smoke. These systems help contain fire within a specific area and allow occupants more time to safely evacuate.
​
FSM Fire Safety Melbourne provides inspections and compliance checks for passive fire protection systems across Melbourne.
​
This includes checking fire-rated walls, fire doors, and penetration sealing around services such as electrical and plumbing penetrations.
​
If passive fire elements have been damaged or modified, they may no longer perform correctly during a fire. Regular inspections help identify issues early and ensure the building maintains its fire resistance rating.
What are examples of passive fire systems?
Examples include fire doors, fire-rated walls, penetration sealing, and fire-rated service penetrations.
How often should passive fire systems be inspected?
Passive fire elements should be inspected regularly to ensure they have not been damaged or altered.
​
Can you repair damaged fire penetrations or fire doors?
Yes. We can inspect and organise repairs to ensure passive fire systems remain compliant.
