A fire transmission prevention system (10) for use in a drainage system (100) to prevent the transmission of smoke and fire through the drainage system. The system is intended to be used in drainage systems in multi-story structures. The system includes a firestop (16), couplings (14, 26 and 30) and an air vent (42). The firestop prevents fire and smoke from moving through the inner passageways (44D) of the pipes (12, 24, 28 and 72) of a drainage system by blocking the inner passageway of the pipes with a fire resistant plug (20). The couplings are mounted in the floor (102) of the structure and are constructed and secured in the floor such as to prevent fire and smoke from passing around the couplings between the couplings and the floor. The air vent is provided in a vent pipe (40) of the system above a trap (38 or 78) of the system. The vent acts to prevent ambient air and thus, oxygen from entering the inner passageway of the pipes of a system when positive pressure, such as that caused by high temperature and fire, is present in the inner passageway of the pipes.
