fire walls
Network security barriers
Fire walls, as two words, are physical barriers designed to prevent fire from spreading between sections of a building or between adjacent structures.
Building codes typically require fire walls in multi-unit residential buildings and commercial spaces.
The compound *firewall* extends to computing, where it means software or hardware that blocks unauthorized network access.
The fire walls between units contained the blaze to a single apartment.
