Purpose
Section 633.202(1), F.S., requires the Division of State Fire Marshal to adopt, by rule, the Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) every third year. Section 633.202(2), F.S., requires the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard 1 to be a part of the FFPC and allows the State Fire Marshal to modify the selected codes and standards as needed to accommodate the specific needs of the state. Section 633.202(5)(d), F.S., allows the Division to address unintended results from the integration of Florida-specific amendments that were previously adopted with the model code.
