Fire Prevention Codes Areas of public assembly are required to maintain compliance with local, state and federal fire codes designed to prevent or contain fire. These codes have sections governing drapery, scenery and other decorative materials, as they can be highly flammable. Fire Codes vary from state to state and city to city. Many states have adopted BOCA, International Fire Code or NFPA guidelines as their own State Fire Prevention Code. We are ready to assist you in planning the appropriate flame proofing program to meet the regulation and certification requirements of these applicable fire codes. For specific questions about the fire code in your city, please contact your Local Fire Department.
