What type of construction can require additional fire protection measures due to its material?

  1. Wood frame

  2. Steel frame

  3. Concrete

  4. Masonry

The correct answer is: Wood frame

Wood frame construction often requires additional fire protection measures because wood is a combustible material that can ignite easily in the event of a fire. Unlike steel and concrete, which are non-combustible and can withstand higher temperatures without losing structural integrity, wood can contribute to the spread of flames and create more significant hazards in a fire situation. Therefore, building codes often require more stringent fire safety measures for structures built with wood framing. These measures can include the use of fire-resistant coatings, fire separations, and increasing the use of non-combustible materials in critical areas.
