The Life Safety and Fire Prevention Division (LSFPD) is primarily responsible for enforcing all aspects of the International Fire Code (IFC), which was adopted by the LFPD board of directors on November 13, 2003.

The IFC addresses new and existing construction. The 2007 editions of NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and NFPA 1 Fire Prevention Code are used as references by LSFPD.
