Facade fires pose risks to life and property safety for building users. During the architectural design and construction process, a number of active and passive fire safety precautions are required to be taken in order to take the expected fire safety performance from the facade by reducing the risks. In this context, the article focuses on facade fire dynamics and investigates on the creation of passive fire safety measures on facades. Moreover, the creation of passive fire safety precautions on the facades, researches have been made through the facade materials and details, fire regulations of Turkey (Turkey’s Regulation on Fire Protection, TRFP), United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates and Australia for facade fire safety precautions have been discussed. National and international regulations in the creation of facade fire safety precautions have been examined and analysed through facade materials, horizontal fire barriers, facade openings, distance between buildings, external wall resistance and automatic extinguishing systems. As a result of the study, assessments are made to reduce the risk of facade fires and to save the life and property safety of building users for future. Within the framework of the facade fire safety precautions, it has been proposed to use the materials according to the building heights, to detail the facade openings and to use the automatic extinguishing system requirements in our country's fire regulation.
