A fire barrier panel of the kind suitable for lining car decks and engine rooms of high speed aluminum ferries is described. The panel (10) includes a relatively thin layer of inorganic insulating material (12) adhered to a lightweight support structure (14). The layer of inorganic insulating material may be an intumescent material made from mineral fibers. The decribed lightweight support structure (14) is a honeycomb panel having a honeycomb core (18) of non-combustible aluminum foil provided with two face skins made of glass reinforced plastics resin material (16).
