However, its uncontrolled development in time and space is defined as a fire and can cause large-scale destruction. Based on this understanding, the present work aims to highlight the importance of fire and panic protection and firefighting systems, relating, through a case study of a Fire Prevention and Protection Plan, the basic premises: preventing the ignition of fire by designing mandatory protection systems tailored to the project's context; and, in case of occurrence, providing appropriate means to combat it, confining it to its place of origin, thus enabling the building's rapid and efficient evacuation. Initially, the concept of fire is addressed, including its classes and its main characteristics during propagation in a building, along with extinction methods. Subsequently, the case study of a school is developed, focusing on the design of mandatory prevention and firefighting systems and equipment. The methodology applied for the designs was based on the Technical Instructions of the Alagoas Military Fire Department, considering this agency's responsibility for actions related to fire and panic safety in buildings and risk areas within the State of Alagoas. Finally, the study emphasizes that safe practices and a culture of prevention are crucial to preventing tragedies and ensuring a safer future for future generations.ptEngenharia CivilIncêndio – Prevenção – ProjetoIncêndio – CombateFogoFire - Protection - ProjectImportância do sistema de prevenção e combate ao incêndio: estudo de caso de projeto para um colégio no município de Arapiraca/ALTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA CIVIL
