International Fire Code (IFC)

The International Fire Code (IFC) is a set of regulations designed to ensure building safety by preventing fires and promoting effective response when fires do occur. It establishes standards for building construction, fire protection systems, safe storage of flammable materials, and emergency procedures. The IFC is adopted by local authorities to create consistent safety practices across different regions, helping to protect occupants, property, and the environment. Essentially, it provides a comprehensive framework to minimize fire risks and facilitate safe evacuation and firefighting efforts.
