ABSTRACT
As noted in Chapter 2, fire codes in use in the United States have an interesting history. One of the most prominent codes in modern use is the Uniform Fire Code, which regulates underground storage tanks, aboveground storage tanks, and a vast array of products and services that could affect public safety. The Uniform Fire Code, which is cited within the ordinances of communities in 38 states, is like many other codes. The current version is the result of an evolutionary process.
