Fire Codes

Life Safety Code 101

This fire code is adopted by the State of Nebraska, and enforced in the City of Lincoln through the Fire Prevention Bureau.
The Life Safety Code is a unique document; its contents address specific requirements that have a direct influence of safety to life in both new construction and existing buildings – not new construction alone. Moreover, although the Code’s paramount concern is life safety and not protection of property per se, there are also by observance of the Code’s requirement, ancillary benefits to property protection. The impact that application of the Code may have on saving lives is difficult to measure; however, it is reasonable to assume that its influence is extremely significant. For example, of the many fatal building fires (other than those in one and two-family dwellings) investigated by the National Fire Protection Association, invariably one or more of the building features contributing to loss of life from fire, were in violation of the requirements of the Code.
