• Fire and explosion.
• Dangerous conditions arising from the storage, handling, and use of hazardous materials and devices.
• Hazardous conditions in the use or occupancy of buildings or premises.

The CFC also contains provisions to assist emergency response personnel. These fire-safety-related building standards are referenced in other parts of Title 24.

It's a fully integrated code based on the 2015 International Fire Code®.
