International Fire Code
The Anacortes Fire Department administers the provisions of the International Fire code (2015 Edition) as adopted by the State of Washington July 1, 2016. This is accomplished through mandated routine fire inspections, complaint referrals, and pre-construction plan review. All businesses within the community are routinely inspected on a recurring basis.
