2021 International Building Code Essentials: Fire Safety

Fire and smoke are two of the leading causes of death in buildings. Once started, fire can spread rapidly within a building and, in some cases, between buildings. This interactive course teaches you about the International Building Code (IBC) and how it is designed to limit the spread of fire inside and outside of buildings. You will learn about active and passive fire protection and the different ways buildings and occupants are protected from fire.
