Fire Codes

There are an annual inspections to schools and restaurants.

Fire code = Fire Law
It is the minimum standard to which they will enforce fire safety.



  • State level
  • County level

November of 2011 The state of Hawaii Adopted the 1997 Uniform Fire Code Volume 1. That was when the county and the state both adopted this code.
It is easier to read/navigate/reference.

Now there is a new code that is awaiting to be adopted by the county of Maui.
Hawaii State Fire Cope based on the NFPA 1 Uniform Code 2006.

It is like an updated version of the codes, to where maybe some in the 1997 version were wrong and now they are right, or they were right and now they are considered wrong.



You can find some fire code amendments @ mauicounty.gov > How do I? > Find Maui County Code > Chapter 1.01
