This is a follow-up report following a fire.
Im Vorfeld zum Abbruch der massiven Gebäudesubstanz waren diese Platten, die an der Decke längs zum Verwaltungsgebäude als Brandüberschlag dienten, fachgerecht unter Vorgaben der TRGS-Richtlinien zu demontieren und zu entsorgen.

fire spread
Ein Brandüberschlag ist die Brandausbreitung durch ein Überschlagen der Flammen, Funken oder durch Hitzeeinwirkung (Strahlungshitze) von Fassadenöffnung zu Fassadenöffnung bzw. von Bauteil zu Bauteil. Ein Brandüberschlag kann in horizontaler Richtung (bei gegenüberliegenden oder im Winkel zueinanderstehenden Gebäuden und Bauteilen) als auch in vertikaler Richtung, von Geschoss zu Geschoss (Fassadenöffnungen) erfolgen. Durch Windeinwirkung oder die im Brandfall entstehende Thermik der Rauch- und Brandgase kann ein Übergreifen der Flammen, also Brandüberschlag, begünstigt werden. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandüberschlag#:~:text=Ein Br...
RESISTANCE TO INCIPIENT SPREAD OF FIRE (RISF)
Floor/ceiling systems or roof systems with an FRL include the roof lining or flooring as part of the fire barrier. Ceilings with a Resistance to the Incipient Spread of Fire state the ability of a ceiling to limit the temperature rise in the ceiling cavity [shown below]. Ceilings with 60 minutes of RISF are specified by the BCA and are appropriate where the ceiling is the primary fire barrier that limits fire spread by way of the ceiling void. https://blog.knauf.solutions/how-to-select-a-fire-rated-wall...

In your case, it should be "prevention of fire spread"

fire resistant boards
I think in this particular case, Brandüberschlag refers to some sort of fire protection building component.
Zulage zur Pos 01.17; Fireboardstreifen 30 cm

The closest thing I could find was fire boards or fire resistant boards.

fire deterrent
Laverty repeatedly sold panels of regular glass to customers which he falsely marketed as specially designed panels with fire deterrent capabilities.
http://www.fireandsafetymanagementuk.co.uk/fraudster-jailed-...
Logically, a roof partially covered with tempered glass solar panels is far less likely to ignite in the first place. However, this fire deterrent capacity is in no way considered by UL.

Flame-retardant curtains can be a beautiful room divided, which can double as a passive fire deterrent.

German term (edited):
die als Brandüberschlag dienten
which funnelled the fire
I recommend a rephrasing here:
which served to funnel the flames > which had the effect of funnelling the flames > which funnelled the flames

die an der Decke längs zum Verwaltungsgebäude als Brandüberschlag dienten
which funnelled the flames along the ceiling to the admin building

As a translation for the single term 'Brandüberschlag, you might like to consider
fire accelerant
The cladding on the student accommodation block was not the aluminium composite material (ACM) used on Grenfell Tower, which had acted as a fire accelerant.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/11/18/fire-n18.html
Tiles that were used acted as a fire accelerant and a fire at the bakery spread rapidly, substantially destroying the building.

Discussion
The ceiling boards/tiles/panels were the first thing they ripped out in clearing up after the fire. They had made the fire worse than it need have been.
