Fire protection for transport infrastructure is essential to ensure the safety of passengers, personnel, and assets, as well as to maintain the continuity of operations. This includes the implementation of fire detection, suppression, and evacuation systems in facilities such as airports, railway stations, tunnels, bridges, and highways. Effective fire protection involves the use of fire-resistant materials, clearly marked escape routes, smoke ventilation systems, and strategically placed fire extinguishers or sprinklers. Additionally, regular maintenance, staff training, and emergency response planning are crucial components. These measures collectively help to minimise damage, reduce downtime, and protect lives in the event of a fire.
