fire prevention vs. fire protection (vorbeugender Brandschutz)

[Torsten]

There is the German term 'vorbeugender Brandschutz' which I would translate as 'fire prevention' while 'Brandschutz' might be 'fire protection. But again, the term 'vorbeugender Brandschutz' might actually be a tautology since the word 'Schutz' means 'protection' which implies that you take measures to prevent bad things from happening.

What do you think?

I think you'd better wait for Alan to bless you with his British opinion. After all, that appears to be all you'll accept nowadays. :wink: .
