Fire Codes

Some fire code official-looking content may be found here:

What we've been told needs to be maintained for fire code compliance (the basic-basics):

• Fix holes in walls and ceilings
• Fire extinguishers up-to-date
• Aisles and exits maintain 42" clearance at all times
• Electrical panels must have 48" clearance all around
• Exit lighting marked
• Maintain a well-thought-out (and probably documented) fire exit plan
• Flammable materials kept off site or in flammable materials locker
  • Flammable materials include oil-based paint, alcohols, white gas, etc. We don't really have any flammable materials to speak of at Free Geek.
• Don't daisy chain power cords
  • This means that 1 extension cord to 1 power strip is acceptable, but 2 extension cords linked or 2 power strips linked isn't acceptable.
• No exposed electrical wiring
