A code becomes enforceable only when a state, city, or federal authority adopts it into law. The adopted edition — including any local amendments — is the law in that jurisdiction. FireCodes AI hosts these adopted editions so you can research the exact requirements in force for your project.
Building codes — such as the IBC adopted by your state — cover building construction, fire-resistance ratings, means of egress, occupancy classifications, and when fire protection systems are required.
Fire codes — such as the IFC adopted by your state — cover fire prevention, fire department access, hazardous materials, and the operation and maintenance of fire protection systems in new and existing buildings.
Fire protection codes — many jurisdictions adopt codes covering the design and installation of fire protection systems, including sprinklers (NFPA 13), fire alarm and signaling (NFPA 72), and life safety (NFPA 101).
Federal codes — the U.S. Department of Defense adopts the Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) for military and government facilities, and CMS adopts health care and life safety codes for facilities participating in Medicare and Medicaid.
Each jurisdiction chooses which edition to adopt, and the adopted edition may differ from the newest published version. A project in California may be subject to different adopted editions than a project in Texas or New York — so researching the wrong edition can lead to compliance gaps.
FireCodes AI lets you select your state within the chatbot. When you choose a jurisdiction, the platform searches the adopted editions in force there, so the answers and citations you receive align with the law where your project is located.
FireCodes AI's Multi-Book feature lets you search across multiple adopted codes at once. This is especially useful when a question crosses documents — for example, checking your adopted building code for when sprinklers are required, then going to your adopted sprinkler code (NFPA 13, as adopted) for how the system must be designed.
