fire compartment-separating building components
I used this in a translation back in February and it was well received. I based it on the description in the example sentence, which I found in the at the reference link below, at page 123, item 5:62.

I have a 2007 version of "Eurokod-termer" from SIS (Swedish Standards Institute) that shows "fire compartment" for "brandcell". Unfortunately, I can't find an online source for this document right now for you.

Example sentence:
Brandcellsskiljande byggnadsdelar ska vara täta mot genomsläpp av flammor och gaser och vara så värmeisolerande att temperaturen på den av brand opå- verkade sidan inte medför risk för brandspridning.

"There are two main classifications of fire walls: fire partitions, and true fire walls. To the layperson, the common use of language typically includes both when referring to a firewall unless distinguishing between them is necessary."
With all due respect, no one really speaks like the "very winded" previous suggestions, imho.
