This database is informational, compiled from each jurisdiction's published materials. Requirements change — always confirm with your AHJ before relying on it. Where a jurisdiction publishes no stand-alone fire watch bulletin, IFC §901.7 (fire watch when a required system is out of service) generally applies by reference through the adopted fire code. This is not legal advice.
