What is Fire Stopping?
Fire stopping involves using fire-resistant materials to seal gaps and openings that could allow fire and smoke to spread between compartments in a building. These gaps can occur around pipes, cables, ducts, and other penetrations in walls and floors. Proper fire stopping is essential for maintaining the integrity of fire-resistant barriers, thereby containing fires and protecting occupants and property.
