A bifurcation assembly for a gas turbine engine is disclosed and includes a housing defining an inner cavity. A first partition and a second partition extend across the inner cavity and define a buffer area therebetween. Openings through the first and second partitions define passageway for supply conduits. A control device governs the flow of a purge gas into the buffer area for blocking the spread of fire. The purge gas provides a barrier to the spread of fire and heat through the bifurcation assembly.
