| OCFA has developed these guidelines to assist our customers in understanding specific fire and life safety regulations.
Most of these Guidelines have undergone some changes due to the adoption of the 2010 California Fire Code. Guidelines with significant
changes have been flagged ("See New Requirements"). If you have suggestions or comments please feel free to
