firecase
A firecase is a type of protective enclosure designed to contain a fire and prevent its spread, typically within a building or a specific area. These enclosures are constructed from fire-resistant materials that have a high melting point and can withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures without compromising their structural integrity. The primary purpose of a firecase is to provide a barrier that limits the movement of flames, smoke, and hot gases from one compartment to another, thereby giving occupants more time to evacuate and allowing firefighters to control the blaze.
Firecases can be found in various forms, including fire doors, fire-rated walls, and fire-rated shafts for elevators
