ICC IWUIC – 2021 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code

ICC IWUIC-2021 contains provisions addressing fire spread, accessibility, defensible space, water supply and more for buildings constructed near wildland areas.

The IWUIC:

• Establishes regulations to safeguard life and property from the intrusion of wildland fire and to prevent structure fires from spreading to wildland fuels.
• Regulates defensible space, and provides ignition-resistant construction requirements to protect against fire exposure and resist ignition by burning embers.
• Provides standards for emergency access, water supply and fire protection.
• Provides requirements for automatic fire suppression and safe storage practices.
• Is fully compatible with all of ICC’s International Codes®.
• Is founded on data collected from tests and fire incidents, technical reports and mitigation strategies from around the world.
