AI Fire Code Chatbot

A fire code AI assistant that lets you ask questions about adopted NFPA, IBC, IFC, and UFC codes in natural language. Use Multi Book to search across multiple adopted codes at once. Get cited answers with a References panel showing the exact code text — verbatim and untouched by AI.

Natural Language Code Search Inside the Chatbot

FireCodes AI is built around a conversational interface where you can ask fire code questions the way you naturally think about them. Instead of manually searching through code books page by page, you type your question into the chatbot and get an AI-generated answer that references specific code sections.

You can use the chatbot in multiple ways:

  • Ask a full question in plain English, such as “What are the occupancy separation requirements in the IBC?”
  • Enter keywords like “fire pump testing NFPA 25” to find relevant sections
  • Paste a section number like “NFPA 13 Section 8.3.2” to look up its content directly

Multi Book: Search Across Multiple Adopted Codes

The Multi Book feature lets you select multiple code books and search across all of them in a single query. This is especially powerful when your question spans different codes — for example, comparing NFPA sprinkler requirements with IBC fire protection system provisions, or checking both the IBC and IFC for occupancy-related fire safety requirements.

With Multi Book, you can get answers that reference sections from multiple adopted codes at once, helping you see the full picture without switching between code books manually.

Cited Answers You Can Verify

Every answer from the AI chatbot includes references to the specific code sections it used. But FireCodes AI goes a step further: the built-in References panel displays the exact, verbatim text of those cited sections. This text is not rewritten, summarized, or altered by AI in any way.

This means you can always compare the AI's answer against the original code language. It's a key trust feature for professionals who need to confirm that what they're reading matches the actual standard.

Built for Fire Code Professionals

FireCodes AI is designed for fire protection engineers, building designers, AHJs, inspectors, contractors, and consultants — anyone who regularly researches fire codes as part of their work. Whether you're working on plan review, system design, inspections, or code compliance, the AI chatbot helps you find relevant code sections faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

A fire code AI chatbot is an AI-powered tool that lets you ask fire code questions in natural language — the way you would ask a colleague. FireCodes AI understands your question, searches across supported adopted codes, and returns answers with specific section citations and verbatim code text in the References panel.

Yes. You can ask questions about NFPA codes using everyday language, such as "What are the sprinkler requirements for a warehouse?" The AI interprets your question and returns relevant NFPA code sections with citations.

Absolutely. In addition to natural-language questions, you can paste a specific section number (e.g., "NFPA 13 Section 8.3.2") or use keywords (e.g., "fire pump testing") directly in the chatbot to find the relevant code text.

Multi Book lets you select multiple code books in the chatbot and search across all of them at once. This is useful for comparing requirements between standards — for example, selecting both NFPA 13 and the IBC to see how sprinkler provisions differ, or searching the IBC and IFC together when your question spans both codes.

Every answer from FireCodes AI includes section references. The built-in References panel shows the exact, verbatim text of those cited code sections — untouched by AI. You can read the original code language and confirm the answer yourself.

No. FireCodes AI is a research tool that helps you find and reference code sections faster. It does not provide official interpretations, AHJ approvals, or engineering certifications. Professional judgment is always required when applying code requirements.

FireCodes AI includes state-adopted editions of adopted NFPA codes and ICC-published codes (IBC and IFC), as well as Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) codes. You can select your state to access the specific editions adopted in your jurisdiction.

Yes. The AI assistant supports IFC (International Fire Code) and IBC (International Building Code) — both published by ICC — in addition to adopted NFPA codes and UFC codes. You can ask questions about any of these codes using the same natural-language interface, and use Multi Book to search across them simultaneously.

All code search happens inside the chatbot. You type your question, keyword, or section number, and the AI handles the search. There is no separate search interface — the chatbot is the primary way to look up fire code information in FireCodes AI.
