A Fire Code is a set of regulations designed to prevent and control fires in buildings and other structures. These codes outline safety measures, such as the installation of smoke detectors, fire alarms, and sprinkler systems. They also specify requirements for building materials and emergency exits to ensure safe evacuation during a fire. Fire Codes are enforced by local governments and are often based on national standards, such as those established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Compliance with these codes helps protect lives and property by minimizing the risk of fire hazards in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
