Regional Fire Code Development Committees

To encourage greater fire service participation in the NFPA codes and standards development system, NFPA has established four Regional Fire Code Development Committees.

The members of these committees are from the fire service in each region, and are responsibile for developing proposals for changes to NFPA codes and standards, reviewing NFPA's Report on Proposals (ROP), developing comments on proposed changes, and acting as liaisons to their regional fire service on issues pertaining to NFPA codes and standards. There is no cost to attend these meetings but attendees are responsible for all costs associated with their participation.

For information, contact NFPA's Steven Sawyer.
