Definition
A vertical passage or duct in a building designed to allow hot gases, smoke, or flames to escape from a fire upward.
Etymology
Compound of 'fire' and 'shaft' (Old Norse 'skapt'), referring to the long, straight passage that directs fire upward, similar to how a chimney works.
Kelly Says
During building fires, fireshafts can become deadly conduits—fire racing up these vertical passages can spread flames to multiple floors faster than stairs, making them critical to understand in building evacuation!
