Did You Know…Firestopping is largely not claimed by a single unionized trade. Sometimes the work falls over one or multiple union jurisdictions.

FCIA Member Contractors with or without union affiliation know this specialty trade best!

Did You Know…Passive fire protection is found in all types of building occupancies, from Healthcare & Hospitals to Government and high-rise buildings.

Passive fire protection, including properly installed firestop systems and barrier management, provide defend-in-place tactics when called upon by fire - and smoke protection - and are essential to protecting life and property when quick egress for a multitude of people is not possible.

FCIA Members know firestopping and are your best - and safest - bet for properly installed firestop systems.

Did You Know…Passive fire protection is more than just red goop in a hole.

Barrier Management Services, such as Fire Doors and Photoluminescent Markings, are critical to ‘M’aintaining Protection (the ‘M’ in the ‘DIIM’ of Firestopping) in existing buildings.

Specialty Firestop Installation Contractors understand this and provide these essential services.
