English

Subject field(s)
  • Fire Safety
CONT

Fire protection via prevention programs does not adequately protect Museums from fires. While the control of fire by restricting the quantity and combustibility of building materials, and the control of fires through compartmentation are essential fire protection methods, fire extinction must play a major role.

OBS

compartmentation. A type of building design in which a building is divided into sections that can be closed off from each other so that there is resistance to fire spread beyond the area of origin; it is most common in highrise buildings and health care facilities.
