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

‘firewall’. This helps to protect your home from wildfire intrusion through your outside vents.
