Fire Safety Map
Are You Safe?
Does your building require fire extinguishers throughout?
Every state has a State Fire Code with a section on fire extinguisher requirements.
Scroll over each state to get an overview of what the state fire code is based on and if the state has made any enhancements to the fire code.
The dark gray states below have worked with The Fire Equipment Manufacturers' Association to change the states fire code to
Require Fire Extinguishers Throughout Most Occupancies in Buildings.
If you want to get involved and help out in your state, let us know.
