NFPA 150 PDF

The comprehensive code that covers every aspect of fire and life safety for animals in any type of animal housing facility.

Developed after a series of disastrous fires in racetrack stables, the fire protection and fire safety mitigation measures of NFPA 150, Fire and Life Safety in Animal Housing Facilities Code, can be used in a variety of settings and environments, including barns, stables, kennels, animal shelters, veterinary facilities, zoos, laboratories, and agricultural facilities.

This code addresses the fire and life safety needs of both animals and humans in all types of animal housing facilities, following the organization and format of NFPA 101^®, Life Safety Code^®.

Architects, designers, engineers, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), as well as facility owners or operators, can enhance their protection of animals and people who work in these facilities by addressing active protection systems, emergency plans to relocate or evacuate animals, and fire protection requirements for each animal housing category.
