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, and fire-safety requirements for new and existing buildings and premises. The loose-leaf edition is in a durable seven-hole binder and includes sheet lifters.
