Open questions from the research
- Two readings differ: first nfpa1_ch52/2023 (New Hampshire State Fire Code: NFPA 1 Uniform Fire Code, as defined in RSA 153:1, VI-a, with Saf-FMO 300 amendments), second nfpa1_ch52/2020 (New Hampshire State Fire Code (NFPA 1 Uniform Fire Code) with Saf-FMO 300 amendments). Held at lead until settled.
- State Fire Marshal page still showed the 2021 NFPA 1 (updated Aug 13, 2024); 2024 edition and Jul 27, 2026 date come from SB494 tracker and baseline, not a current state page.
- Current Saf-FMO 300 text for chapter 52 not read.
- Fire marshal page may be stale; a 2026 adoption of NFPA 1 2024 (effective 2026-07-27) could not be confirmed or refuted on a .gov page.
- Saf-FMO 300 current text not read.
