Large areas are compartmentalized
with the help of fire resistant
doors, partitions, through penetration
and cable fire stops. Fire is contained
within a compartment for specified

and not allowed to spread to other
compartment horizontally or to the
floors above & below the particular
compartment.

contained to a particular compartment
only.
