Cover all the fire protection bases. Increase public safety by staying up-to-code on 130+ fire and life safety documents with the 2009 NFPA 1!

For a comprehensive, integrated approach to fire code regulation and hazard management, nothing beats the new NFPA 1: Fire Code. Adopted in jurisdictions throughout North America, this gateway to total fire safety contains extracts from and references to more than 130 NFPA® codes and standards that address the full range of fire protection and life safety issues. And the 2009 edition brings you up-to-date and up-to-code on all of them, including such industry benchmarks as the 2009 NFPA 101® and NFPA 54...2008 NFPA 58, NFPA 30, and NFPA 25...and 2007 NFPA 13 and NFPA 72®.

More practical guidance and expanded coverage such as:

• Instead of listing references, the 2009 NFPA 1 includes new extracted text for interior finish, contents and furnishings, and dust control requirements for industrial hazards.
• Fire flow requirements have been moved from the Annex to the body of the Code to ensure consistency among jurisdictions.
• New requirements have been added for motion picture and television production work done on location, away from the main studio soundstages.

Three new Annexes boost community and fire fighter safety.

• In-Building Public Safety Radio Enhancement System--Allows responders to communicate from any part of a building, not just from locations where two-way telephones are installed.
• Fire Fighter Safety Building Marking System--Gives fire fighters advance knowledge of building features so they can assess potential risks and adjust fire fighting strategies accordingly.
• Fire Department Service Delivery Evaluation--Guidelines help AHJs measure the impact of new development and ensure that as planned growth occurs, adequate levels of fire protection and public safety will be maintained.
