Fire Code Professionals
Fire code compliance professionals can benefit from the support of FAC advocates to help start the processes of adopting fire codes to require fire protection systems, that can and will impact the fire and emergency response, and citizen and firefighter air safety. Codes of this nature can be considered community risk reduction.

Technologies for consideration and discussion in the fire response pre-planning for new structures are vast. The FAC has numerous technology partners that can become involved in those discussions to ensure your development and/or building has the necessary technology to provide fire response. Some of those technologies are featured here.
One of those technologies is an air standpipe system (Firefighter Air Replenishment System) that allows firefighters to have continuous, breathable air supply in the firefight of these large, oversized structures. The only weapon firefighters have to provide an interior attack to perform search, rescue, extinguishment, overhaul and salvage is quite simply, AIR.
