From the Preface
This Fire Inspector's Guide, based on the 2009 International Fire Code, is intended to be used by individuals conducting basic fire prevention inspections. This guide has been developed as a quick reference for fire inspectors because comprehensive knowledge of the entire fire code and its application at every inspection may not be possible for every user.
Inspectors should familiarize themselves with the International Fire Code (IFC) and the International Building Code (IBC). These documents constitute the authority upon which fire inspections are based, and are the basis for the information contained in this guide.
History continues to confirm that properly installed and maintained fire detection and suppression systems have a significant potential for reducing loss of life and property from fire. Not only does the Inspector's Guide focus on fire protection systems but also offers a well-organized reference for identifying conditions that can interrupt or slow means of egress, firefighter response and access to the site, and proper storage and handling of common hazardous materials found in many occupancies. All of these and other hazards are regulated by the IFC to ensure the safety of building occupants and emergency responders.
This guide was compiled by Ray Brown of the Utah Fire and Rescue Academy in Provo, Utah. Assistance provided by Scott Stookey, Kevin Scott and Hamid Naderi, of the International Code Council.
