A Fire Compartment is a building space enclosed by fire-resistant construction designed to contain a fire and its smoke for a rated period, limiting spread to adjacent areas. In data centers compartmentation separates data halls, electrical rooms, and battery spaces, protecting equipment and escape routes and supporting the integrity required for gaseous suppression.
