What is Jet Fire Protection?

Jet fires occur when high-pressure hydrocarbons escape and ignite, producing extremely forceful flames with intense heat and direct impact on structures.
Unlike pool or hydrocarbon fires, jet fires are directional and erosive, capable of breaching unprotected steel and penetrations within minutes.
Jet Fire Protection ensures that structural steel, joints, ducts, and critical infrastructure remain safe against these severe, high-energy fire scenarios.
