Shawn Mahoney from NFPA joins The Fire Protection Podcast in this episode to discuss the challenges and solutions surrounding fire doors and dampers. The episode explores why these critical elements of passive fire protection sometimes get overlooked in favor of active systems like sprinklers and fire alarms. Shawn explains the code requirements (NFPA 80 and 105), the inspection process, and the crucial role of education and enforcement in ensuring these systems function correctly. Drew and Shawn also address the issue of accessibility for dampers and the potential for integrating fire door and damper inspections into existing compliance platforms.
