Fires remain builders’ top liability, necessitating careful material consideration. Steel outclasses wood through non-combustibility:

Non-Combustible Materials
Containing no cellulose compositionally, steel cannot fuel blazes propagating within like wood unexpectedly catches.

Fire-Resistive Assemblies
Incombustible components insulated within masonry/concrete safely contain fires at points of origin versus spreading uncontrolled.

Reduced Ignition Sources
Eliminating kindling decreases accidental sparks igniting surroundings versus open wood framing readily igniting.

Compartmentalization
Fire-rated assemblies capped with fire-proofing compartmentalize smoke and flames vertically/horizontally through intact barriers.

Fire Endurance
Structures continue supporting loads extraordinarily during infernos rated up to 4 hours versus complete wood collapses in minutes.

Smoke Development
Non-porous steel minimizes noxious smoke inhalation versus its rapid production killing many within wood conflagrations.

Flame Spread Impedance
Solid steel conducts heat away versus glowing wood brands transporting fires concentrating heat below flash points.

Fire Resistant Roofing
Non-combustible standing seam/modified bitumen options require no frequent replacement from UV/fire degradation.

Suppression System Viability\
Integrated sprinklers effectively douse steel building blazes rarely requiring total loss eventualities tragically common within wood structures.

Partners like Lida Group exceed code structurally& architecturally through passive/active integration guaranteed suppressing losses.Steel substantively safeguards lives/livelihoods where wood endangers without periodic chemical coatings.Non-combustibility establishes the basis of responsible fire-safe buildings enduring legislation changes ahead.
