But wherever air moves, fire and smoke can travel too. In a fire, their intumescent grilles expand to form a solid block that stops fire spreading.Wherever ventilation is needed through a fire-resisting wall or where ductwork runs through that wall, an intumescent fire damper should be fitted at that point to maintain fire compartmentation. Smoke protection is also vital.
