(A) In order to safeguard life and property from the hazards of fire and explosion arising from the storage, handling, and use of hazardous substances, materials, and devices, and from conditions hazardous to life or property in the use or occupancy of buildings, other structures, or premises, the 2009 edition of the Standard Fire Prevention Code, as adopted as the State of North Carolina Building Code: Fire Prevention Code on March 11, 2008 by the North Carolina Building Code Council, including all subsequent amendments or revisions duly adopted, is hereby adopted by the town and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. The Standard Fire Prevention Code shall be referred to in this chapter as the “Fire Prevention Code.” In the event of conflict, the more restrictive provisions of this chapter shall prevail over the provisions of the Fire Prevention Code.
(B) The listed standards and publications, including appendices and parts, which comprise a part of the Fire Prevention Code, as the same may be periodically revised and updated, are also hereby adopted for use in the enforcement of the Fire Prevention Code, as though fully set forth herein.
