CNU's proposed International Fire Code amendments

The Emergency Response & Street Design Initiative team developed a proposed amendment to Section 503 of the International Fire Code and a proposed new appendix to the code, and submitted them to the International Code Council on June 1, 2009. This is part of the ongoing cooperative effort between CNU, fire marshals, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to find common ground and solutions in designing streets that improve overall public safety, emergency response times, and overall street connectivity.
