Fire protection is the practice of either controlling or limited the effects of fire.
It involves different aspects of containing, putting out or controlling a
fire including compartmentation
and suppression. Buildings must be constructed in accordance with the
version of the building code that is in effect when an application for a
building permit is made. Building inspectors check on compliance of a
building under construction against this building code. Once
construction is complete, a building must be maintained in accordance
with the current fire code.

others are cast in place. Exterior mounting collars may have a split
mounting ring to permit ready installation.
