Active Fire Protection 7
Active Fire Protection 7 : This is one of the two types of structural fire protection (Apart from education. . . ). There is active, and passive fire protection. Active means that items or systems are 'activated', mechanically or electronically and require a certain amount of motion or 'activity' in order to function. Typically this refers to fire suppression systems (the sprinkler bulb which holds back the water breaks and the water moves, for instance) and and fire or smoke detection systems (smoke or heat is sensed and the widget beeps). Lobby groups are typically divided into these two camps, active and passive fire protection. Each try to garner more business for themselves through code hearings and somesuch. More sprinklers, fewer fire compartments or lower ratings and vise versa. The objective point of view would hold that one use a balanced approach and use a maximum of both. Active means are more easily disengaged or sabotaged or rendered useless by human error, for instance. Murphy's law does apply to fire so it's best to use all of the above to a maximum extent
