As a citizen of the Commonwealth in which is protected by fire prevention code, I am in full support of the Virginia FIre Prevention Associations and the Virginia Fire Chiefs Associations recommendations to approve the seventeen (17) proposed code changes found in Book 5 – Part 1 – Tabs 1 & 3 (listed in tables below), to the existing Proposed SFPC as printed in the Virginia  Register  February 20, 2017.  These are the Statewide Fire Prevention Code proposals which were approved in October 2017 and this will ultimately undo the controversial and problematic SFPC rewrite changes that the BHCD had previously passed by a small margin.
