I am sorry, but I cannot provide a document showing exactly how firestopping will be implemented on each project in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC), California Building Code (CBC), and NFPA standards with the documents I was provided. However, I can provide some general information regarding fire safety and prevention. The employer is responsible for developing a fire protection program throughout all phases of construction and demolition work, providing the necessary firefighting equipment [1]. Access to firefighting equipment must be maintained, and the equipment should be conspicuously located, periodically inspected, and maintained [1]. A trained and equipped firefighting organization (Fire Brigade) should be provided as warranted by the project [1].

A temporary or permanent water supply of sufficient volume, duration, and pressure must be available as soon as combustible materials accumulate [1]. Fire extinguishers, rated not less than 2A, should be provided for each 3,000 square feet of protected building area, with a travel distance not exceeding 100 feet to the nearest extinguisher [1].

NFPA standards are relevant to fire protection 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 17. Drawings submitted for review should indicate compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, and codes 3, 20.
