Fire stopping is a passive fire protection method used to seal openings and joints in fire-rated walls and floors. These penetrations are often made for mechanical, electrical, or structural elements (like pipes, ducts, or cables), and if left unprotected, can allow fire and smoke to spread quickly through a building.
