Code Information & Hot Topic Fire Safety Sheets

The purpose of these sheets are to provide additional information about the requirements of the safety codes, standards and the laws adopted in Vermont.  While the Division relies on a consistent set of standards and adopts national codes, there are many classifications and topics within these codes. There are also many unique building situations in Vermont . 

To ensure these sheets remain up to date as well as a valuable resource. We are constantly reviewing and updating the information on these sheets.
