That is why, in 1994, the National Fire Prevention Code, Standard Fire Prevention Code, and the Uniform Fire Code were merged by the International Code Council to create the IFC. The two main fire codes in use today are the IFC and the NFPA 1. And, while there remains a good deal of confusion regarding the application of the IFC and NFPA 1, together, they ensure that states, cities, towns, and counties have a strong body of code upon which they can base their regulations.
