NFPA 150 addresses every aspect of fire and life safety for animals in any type of animal housing facility.

NFPA 150: Standard on Fire and Life Safety in Animal Housing Facilities is the industry benchmark for evaluating the physical setting of both human and animal occupants and their level of protection in case of a fire event. Because current building, fire, and life safety codes do not address the life safety needs of animals, using NFPA 150 is critical for protecting animals wherever they are kept for any purpose.

This Standard presents fire protection and fire safety mitigation measures that can be used in a variety of settings and environments, including barns, stables, kennels, animal shelters, veterinary facilities, zoos, laboratories, and racetracks. NFPA 150 addresses dependencies through a combination of requirements for active protection systems such as automatic sprinkler systems and fire alarms, control of building construction and interior finish types, and emergency plans to assist with relocation or evacuation of the animals if needed.

Significant changes help users avoid oversights. The 2016 edition includes:
  • Clarification that NFPA 150 applies to extensive modifications to any existing building that is within the Standard's scope
  • Clarification that NFPA 150 applies to any existing building when the AHJ determines there is an imminent fire safety threat to the human or animal occupants
  • Clarification that agricultural animals are under the Category B scheme for fire protection requirements
  • Added requirement for automatic sprinkler systems and smoke control systems in facilities that board or house horses
Architects, designers, engineers, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), as well as facility owners or operators will advance the protection of animals on premises with this important updated edition of NFPA 150.

Major changes in the 2016 edition of NFPA 409 impact the design of fire protection systems in new Group I and Group II aircraft hangars.

Revised based on sound engineering principles, the latest test data, and recent field experience, NFPA 409: Standard on Aircraft Hangars provides specifications for construction and fire protection of all types of aircraft hangars.

Engineers, designers, architects, contractors, installers, facility and construction managers, insurance professionals, and others responsible for the safety of people, facilities, and equipment, need to know how revisions in the new NFPA 409 impact their work.

Significant changes make the Standard easier and more cost-effective to apply in certain scenarios:
  • Low-level foam systems in Group I hangars can now be divided into zones that are independently activated, based on activation of an associated sprinkler zone or automatic detection zone.
  • Revised requirement for a minimum of two fire pumps specifies that a redundant pump will not be required for systems that use two or more pumps to meet the minimum demand.
  • Reserve supply of foam concentrate now permitted to meet the requirements of the 2016 edition NFPA 11: Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam, which does not require a connected reserve.
  • The requirement for water reservoirs to be divided into equal parts has been relaxed to a recommendation.
  • The chapter on Group III hangars has been simplified by eliminating the concepts of row hangars and hangar building clusters.
  • Minimum separation between aircraft storage and servicing areas in Group I and Group II hangars has been relaxed from a 3-hour fire wall to a 2-hour fire barrier wall.
Editorial changes and updated references to other codes and standards make the 2016 NFPA 409 an industry essential.
