State and Local Fire Prevention Code
The Florida Fire Prevention Code is adopted by the State Fire Marshal at three year intervals as required by Chapter 633.202, Florida Statutes. This complex set of fire code provisions are enforced by the local fire official within each county, municipality, and special fire district in the state. The county, municipality or special district in which you reside may also have local amendments applicable only to your community.
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.
