The 2022 California Fire Code sets comprehensive guidelines for fire safety and prevention across different building types, ensuring fair enforcement and adherence to modern safety standards. Covering everything from emergency plans and fire-resistance-rated constructions to the integration of fire detection and suppression systems, this code aims to minimize fire risks and protect lives in both new and existing structures. It also addresses unique environments such as aviation facilities and operations handling flammable materials, reflecting the evolving needs of public and environmental safety.
