Fire stopping is a critical element of fire protection for any building. Its purpose is to prevent or slow down the spread of fire and smoke by keeping it within zones and compartments, saving lives and assets. Fire stopping can be largely defined by the sealing of any openings to prevent fire, smoke and heat from passing through multiple building compartments. These compartments are separated by compartment walls and floors made of a fire-resisting construction that hinders the spread of fire from one area to another. When installed correctly, these measures can contain a fire for up to four hours. This is incredibly important because it allows plenty of time for personnel to fully evacuate a building, ensuring everyone on a premises can get to safety, should a fire occur.​
