The basic objectives of fire protection statutes, rules and regulations, and codes are to safeguard life and property. In general, these objectives are achieved in buildings by providing a safe means of escape or a safe refuge for the occupants in the event of a fire, by designing the building to limit the progress and spread of fire and smoke if one starts, and by providing fire detection and extinguishing equipment or systems. The function of the statutes and building code is to prescribe the minimum fire safety and protection requirements for the building, including means of egress and the fire detection and extinguishment systems.

The objectives of the building code regulations governing fire protection are, in order of importance, as follows:

  • To provide for the safety of occupants of buildings, and to make provisions for their evacuation or refuge during a fire or other emergency
  • To provide for the safety of firemen fighting a fire
  • To provide for the safety of adjoining property and to prevent the spread of fire
  • To provide for the preservation of the property itself

Wyoming Statues (35-9-108) requires the State Fire Marshal to review and approve new building construction plans and plans for remodeling with costs totaling more than $40,000.00, before beginning any work for the following types of buildings:

  1. Buildings and structures owned/leased by State or Local Government entities.
  2. All buildings for public access that exceed 5,000 square feet total floor area (including the basement), or exceed one story in height.
  3. Buildings used for child care centers for more than ten (10) children.
  4. Buildings used as public bars, lounges, restaurants, night clubs, lodge halls, theaters, churches or public meeting places regardless of size.
  5. Public and private above ground fuel dispensing facilities.

If no one has submitted plans to the Department for review, and the building(s) or structure falls within these categories, a violation of the requirements under Wyoming Statutes 35-9-130 has occurred.
