Active Fire Protection (AFP) refers to systems and measures designed to detect and suppress fires in real-time. These systems include sprinklers, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers, which actively work to control or extinguish a fire as it occurs. AFP is essential in reducing damage and protecting lives in buildings and other structures. Unlike passive fire protection, which involves building materials and design to slow fire spread, AFP requires human intervention or automated systems to function. Regular maintenance and testing of AFP systems are crucial to ensure their effectiveness during an emergency, making them a vital component of fire safety planning.
