In Mexico, an average of 1,100 people die every year due to fire burns<\/strong>, that is why it is essential to take measures to prevent<\/strong> this. One of the best ways to prevent fires is through fire protection systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A fire protection system<\/strong> is the measures and safety plan that any building must have to know how to act and minimize the effects of fire<\/strong> in case there is a fire in the place.<\/span><\/p>

Fires can cause great human and material losses<\/strong>, as well as affect the building structures and generate air pollution. To avoid these losses it is necessary to have a fire protection system.<\/span><\/p>

This system must take into account factors such as: air conditioning installations<\/strong>, ventilation<\/strong>, plumbing<\/strong>, lighting<\/strong>, etc.<\/span><\/p>

In Mexico, the standard that regulates fire equipment and systems is the NMX-S-066-SCFI-2015<\/strong> and the NOM-002-STPS-2010<\/strong> standard mentions the safety and fire protection conditions in workplaces.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Active protection:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

These are the set of equipment and systems that warn of a fire<\/strong> and are associated with taking action.
Among the systems included in active protection are: smoke extraction, temperature control, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, evacuation, etc.<\/p>

Passive protection:<\/strong><\/p>

These are the set of means and measures that prevent the spread of fire<\/strong> and contain the fire in the area where the fire was caused. The function of passive protection is to protect the building structure and facilitate the evacuation of people.
Among the systems included in the passive protection are:<\/p>
