This study delineates preventive fire protection measures and sets the requirements for passive and active fire protection for buildings and their surrounding areas. The aim is to enhance fire safety, reduce vulnerability and limit the spread of fires, while concurrently protecting the natural environment and public health. Critical active fire protection measures, including water supply systems, water intake points, and sprinkler systems, are identified as essential for fire prevention, ensuring immediate response and mitigating fire impacts. The study concludes that the installation and technical specifications of these measures are contingent upon local vegetation, meteorological conditions, topography, etc., while they should be incorporated into comprehensive forest management plans to prevent fire protection in residential areas.
