fire zones
Designated burning regions
Fire zones are designated areas within a building or structure classified by fire risk and requiring specific safety measures.
Building codes establish fire zones based on construction type, occupancy, and potential hazard level, determining requirements for fireproofing, sprinklers, and fire-resistant materials.
The term also applies to combat areas under active gunfire or to urban zones where parking is prohibited to keep access clear for emergency vehicles: The entire block was designated a fire zone after the warehouse fire.
