About Us
The Fire Code Advisory Board (FCAB) was created by the City Council over five decades ago to give the public and local business, industry and technical trades a clear voice in the fire code process. Board members advise the City on updates and revisions to the code and have played a crucial role in shaping the Seattle Fire Code. The 15 board members are appointed by the Mayor, confirmed by the City Council and serve a renewable term of three years.
