Open questions from the research
- Two readings differ: first ifc_ch12/2023 (Arizona State Fire Code (A.A.C. R4-36-201 incorporating the IFC)), second none/None (Arizona State Fire Code (A.A.C. R4-36-201 incorporating IFC)). Held at lead until settled.
- Cornell mirror returned the 2018 edition text (stale); baseline says the amended rule names the 2024 IFC.
- Article 3 modifications not reviewed for chapter 12.
- Edition NFPA 855-2023 derived from 2024 IFC.
- Register notice 32 A.A.R. 558 not opened (azsos.gov not reached in search); a 2024 IFC rule from 2026-04-13 is unconfirmed.
- Sedona Fire District resolution (local, eff 2026-05-01) adopts the 2024 IFC and says it was approved by the State Fire Marshal's Office; it does not cite R4-36-201.
- DFFM page undated; Justia text stops at June 2025.
