The Minnesota state fire code is a modern, up-to-date fire code addressing conditions hazardous to life and property from fire, explosion, handling or use of hazardous materials and the use and occupancy of buildings and premises. It establishes minimum fire safety requirements for new and existing buildings, facilities, storage and processes. It addresses fire prevention, fire protection, life safety and safe storage, and use of hazardous material, providing a total approach of controlling hazards in all buildings and sites, regardless of the hazard being indoors or outdoors. The code contains requirements for maintaining the life safety of building occupants, the protection of emergency responders, and to limit the damage to a building and its contents as the result of a fire, explosion or unauthorized hazardous material discharge. It is founded on broad-based principles that make possible the use of new materials and new system designs.
