Safeguard national treasures and other culturally significant occupancies against fire hazards!

Culturally significant and historic structures require special measures to maintain adequate fire protection and fire safety. This newly expanded edition of NFPA 909 provides the minimum requirements for construction, alarm and suppression systems, proper equipment use, and operational requirements to prevent or minimize the effects of fire in these structures. Requirements also cover alterations, modernizations, or renovations.

Newly expanded to include spaces within other buildings used for culturally significant purposes, this edition features:

  • New requirements on the types of sprinklers to be used in cultural resource properties
  • Revised requirements regarding fire risk assessments
  • Updated requirements concerning the activation of fire dampers
  • Added checklists regarding the necessary tasks associated with Emergency Action Plans, Fire Safety Self Inspections and General Inspections

Protect your community's most treasured facilities with NFPA 909.
