Later, in A.D. 26, Rome had a full-time fire department that was in charge of making sure people followed rules toprevent fires and punishing those who caused fires. Over time, people have tried different ways to lessen the damagefires can do. In 1666, a huge fire in London destroyed a lot of buildings because they were made of wood and straw.After that, people started building houses with brick and stone to prevent fires from spreading. Nowadays, fire protectionis about preventing fires and reducing their impact on people, buildings, and the environment. People who work in fireprotection include firefighters, fire marshals, and fire prevention officers, among others. The best way to protect againstfires is to prevent them from happening and, if they do happen, to decrease the damage they can cause.

On average 8 in 1,000,000 people are killed annually in Europe, and more are hospitalized dueto fire. Fortunately, governments that have continuously adjusted fire safety strategies have addressed thisrisk. As a positive result, in the past 30 years, fire deaths dropped by 65% in Europe.Buildings notably represent an important part of the places where fire has fatal consequences.Therefore, numerous national and regional fire safety regulations have been implemented targetingbuildings specifically. Plastics are used in various building and construction applications, from durablepipes and window frames to state-of-the-art insulation solutions. Over the years, the industry hasincreased efforts to develop plastic materials, products, and construction solutions with lower ignitabilityand limited impact on fire spread, contributing to the ongoing reduction of fatalities, injuries, and propertydamage due to fire.The most crucial aspect of a building’s safety in the face of fire is the possibility of a safe escape. Anecessary precondition is that fire safety facilities enable independent and adequate fire responseperformances by the building’s occupants. In practice, the measures currently required by law do notalways provide the support people need in burning buildings. Fire evacuation is essential to bring firesafety measures into line with occupants’ needs during an incident. Training and education at all levelsplay a vital part in this. The management responsible for a building must ensure that the occupantsunderstand how to behave in the event of a fire.Fire safety has always been and continues to be a major objective for the industry and an integral partof product design and manufacturing. However, to provide adequate fire safety in buildings, considerationmust be given to various connected design and use aspects. In addition, training and education to helpbuilding occupants respond adequately in the face of fire also plays a vital role in building fire safety.
