Passive fire protection (PFP) is components or systems of a building or structure that slows or impedes the spread the effects of fire or smoke without system activation, and usually without movement. Examples of passive systems include floor-ceilings and roofs, fire doors, windows, and wall assemblies, fire-resistant coatings, and other fire and smoke control assemblies. Passive fire protection systems can include active components such as fire dampers. 
Active fire protection (AFP) is an integral part of fire protection. AFP is characterized by items and/or systems, which require a certain amount of motion and response in order to work, contrary to passive fire protection. 
Passive fire protection is the implementation of fire-resistant construction materials built into the fabric of a building, providing fire containment and preventing a fire from spreading between designated rooms/areas and throughout a building, allowing occupants time to escape safely and for emergency services to enter and extinguish a fire. 
Fire resistant materials applied to structural steelwork prevent failure and collapse of a building structural framework in the event of a fire and fire compartmentation systems are designed to keep a fire contained within designated areas to prevent it from spreading, minimizing damage and destruction of a building.
