Fire safety distance
Seems better than my last attempt.
ecart-au-feu - n.m.
[Chauf.] Distance entre la face interieure d'un conduit de fumee et une piece de bois (d'une charpente ou d'un plancher)
A "conduit de fumee" is a flue.
Fire safety distance : The fire safety distance is the minimum distance permissible between the internal walls of a smoke flue and any part made of flammable material.

: //Yes, I agreed with your answer because I think it is a mistake to add the word "minimum". The distance is whatever has been allowed, which may be more than the minimum.

Security distance
I believe your source is a misspelling. It should be "écart au feu". It is commonly translated as "Security distance".
