The Fire Code was developed to establish the minimum requirements consistent with nationally recognized good practice for providing a reasonable level of life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion, or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to provide safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations.
The Williamson County ESD 5 adopted the 2006 International Fire Code back in 2008, and as of February 21, 2022, Williamson County ESD 5 has moved to the 2021 International Fire Code with local amendments that establish the minimum fire and life safety requirements for a wide range of activities within the District. The City of Jarrell has adopted the 2018 International Fire Code for anything within the city limits as the minimum fire and life safety requirements for a wide range of activities within the City of Jarrell.
Our goal is to create a safer community and reduce the impact of fire, loss, and injury through fire engineering, fire inspections, education, and fire code enforcement. We work to create a partnership with business and property owners. By working cooperatively, we can find solutions and create a safe environment for work and play.
