To ensure the 2009 International Fire Code (IFC) is properly followed, the Life Safety Division reviews proposed projects and construction plans for compliance with the IFC. The projects must then be inspected throughout the building process to ensure that the building is following the appropriate codes and standards and that the safety of the public and the firefighters during this process are being addressed. The ongoing inspection of the buildings throughout their lifespan is continually monitored and promoted by the Life Safety Division via inspections by fire department crews and personnel within the Life Safety Division.
