fire wall
Digital security barrier
A fire wall is a barrier designed to prevent fire from spreading between sections of a building or vehicle.
The two-word spelling typically refers to this physical structure—a wall of fire-resistant material separating a garage from living space, or the metal partition between an engine compartment and passenger cabin.
The fire wall kept the flames from reaching the cockpit. (One word, firewall, usually refers to network security systems.)
