fire resistance
Won't easily ignite
Fire resistance is the ability of a material or structure to withstand fire or high heat without igniting, collapsing, or losing integrity.
Building codes specify fire resistance ratings measured in hours: The wall has a two-hour fire resistance rating.
Materials like concrete and steel offer inherent fire resistance, while wood can be treated to improve it.
