Difference between Fire and Fire protection

Fire vs. Fire protection

Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Fire protection is the study and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially destructive fires.

Similarities between Fire and Fire protection

Fire and Fire protection have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Active fire protection, Building code, Combustion, Conflagration, Fire sprinkler, Fire-resistance rating, Firefighter, Firefighting, Hydrogen, Natural gas, Passive fire protection, Petroleum, Plastic, Potassium, Smoke, Wood.

Active fire protection

Active fire protection (AFP) is an integral part of fire protection.

Building code

A building code (also building control or building regulations) is a set of rules that specify the standards for constructed objects such as buildings and nonbuilding structures.

Combustion

Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

Conflagration

A conflagration is a large and destructive fire that threatens human life, animal life, health, and/or property.

Fire sprinkler

A fire sprinkler or sprinkler head is the component of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been exceeded.

Fire-resistance rating

A fire-resistance rating typically means the duration for which a passive fire protection system can withstand a standard fire resistance test.

Firefighter

A firefighter is a rescuer extensively trained in firefighting, primarily to extinguish hazardous fires that threaten life, property and the environment as well as to rescue people and animals from dangerous situations.

Natural gas

Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide, or helium.
