“Fire Containment In Design, During Construction, and Occupancy”
The upcoming 2019 edition of the statewide CBC similarly will be modeled on the 2018 IBC
and will become effective on January 1, 2020.
Happily, the overt political wars between the State’s fire chiefs and building officials have
ended — in part, because the model International Building Code addresses many of these
fire officials’ safety concerns (e.g., with increased requirements for the installation of fire
sprinklers) compared to the old model Uniform Building Code.
The International Code Council’s nationwide IBC and IFC models (and, therefore, the
associated International Building Code addresses many of these fire officials’ safety
concerns
