This course is designed to equip planners, building officials, fire officials, and community leaders with the knowledge to integrate fire safety codes into urban planning and development. It focuses on building resilient communities in fire-prone areas by navigating key codes and fostering collaboration across agencies and the public.
Participants will gain a working knowledge of how the following codes interact:
IFC (International Fire Code) – Fire apparatus access, water supply, fire flow, and emergency planning.
IBC (International Building Code) – Fire-resistant construction, egress, occupancy, and integration with zoning.
IWUI (International Wildland-Urban Interface Code) – Ignition-resistant construction, vegetation management, and defensible space.
IPMC (International Property Maintenance Code) – Maintenance of fire protection systems and aging infrastructure.
Zoning Regulations – How land use and overlays affect fire risk and community layout.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Define resilient development in fire-prone urban contexts
Interpret and apply the IFC, IBC, IWUI, IPMC, and zoning regulations
Design land use strategies that reduce fire risk
Coordinate enforcement and maintenance for long-term resilience
Engage communities in fire safety education and compliance
