Abstract

Cover all the fire protection bases. Increase public safety by staying up-to-code on 130+ fire and life safety documents with the NFPA 1!

More practical guidance and expanded coverage such as:

    Instead of listing references, the NFPA 1 includes new extracted text for interior finish, contents and furnishings, and dust control requirements for industrial hazards.
    Fire flow requirements have been moved from the Annex to the body of the Code to ensure consistency among jurisdictions.
    New requirements have been added for motion picture and television production work done on location, away from the main studio soundstages.

Three new Annexes boost community and fire fighter safety.

    In-Building Public Safety Radio Enhancement System--Allows responders to communicate from any part of a building, not just from locations where two-way telephones are installed.
    Fire Fighter Safety Building Marking System--Gives fire fighters advance knowledge of building features so they can assess potential risks and adjust fire fighting strategies accordingly.
    Fire Department Service Delivery Evaluation--Guidelines help AHJs measure the impact of new development and ensure that as planned growth occurs, adequate levels of fire protection and public safety will be maintained.

Notes

Claudia's Notes:
NFPA 1 is among NFPA's all-time best sellers.  It advances fire and life safety for the public and first responders.  It covers property protection by providing a comprehensive, integrated approach to fire code regulation and hazard management. And it addresses all the bases with extracts from and references to more than 130 NFPA codes and standards including such industry benchmarks as NFPA 101, NFPA 54, NFPA 58, NFPA 30, NFPA 13, NFPA 25, and NFPA 72.
