2003 International Fire Code, Softcover

Imagine the benefits of working with a single fire code instead of the regional fire codes currently in use. Based on a solid foundation of proven fire-code provisions and standards, the International Fire Code (IFC) has been developed by a broad-based committee of fire chiefs, fire marshals and members of the fire service/protection industry.

The IFC extends far beyond maintenance and contains regulations relating to the construction of buildings and facilities. Topics addressed in the code include:

• fire department access
• fire hydrants
• automatic sprinkler systems
• fire-alarm systems
• fire and explosion hazards safety
• hazardous materials storage and use
• provisions to protect and assist first responders
• industrial processes
• fire-safety requirements for new and existing buildings and premises.
