Chapter 5, Fire Prevention and Protection, City of Greenacres Code

This code is intended to prescribe regulations consistent with state requirements and nationally recognized practices for the reasonable protection of life and property from hazards of fire and explosion. It is the intent of this code to identify and use as minimum standards, specific standards and codes adopted by the state firemarshal's office and those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and other recognized standards and codes and to set the requirements necessary for the administration of this code. If specific requirements within this code conflict, the most stringent shall apply.

Where provisions of this code do not address specific situations involving protection of life and property from the hazards of fire, smoke, and explosion, compliance with nationally accepted standards of good practice shall be evidence of compliance with the intent of this code.

The provisions of this chapter shall apply within the incorporated limits of the City of Greenacres and inside jurisdictions which have executed an interlocal agreement for fire protection and emergency medical services.

The city hereby adopts by reference the amendments to the 2018 Florida Fire Prevention Code as reflected in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. These amendments are being made to strengthen the minimum fire code and to conform to the city's operational standards.
