Firestopping

Firestopping is essential for protecting patients who cannot physically evacuate a facility during emergencies. Those connected to life-supporting equipment may face greater risk if they are moved, making effective firestop solutions vital for their safety. Implementing efficient firestopping strategies ensures that these patients are safeguarded, potentially saving lives during critical situations.
