Advanced fire safety strategies involve not only fire separation and alarm systems but also the careful integration of all active and passive fire protection measures. Experienced designers use fire modelling tools to predict how fire and smoke will behave in complex spaces. They must also consider compartmentalisation, fire-resistance ratings of materials, and suppression systems that meet higher-risk occupancy requirements.
