Essential for community preparedness and protection, the revised and retitled NFPA 1144: Reducing Structure Ignitions from Wildland Fire is based on the fire protection principle that, in order to prevent future wildland fire disasters, ignitions of homes and buildings must be prevented. Reflecting research from the USDA Forest Service, NIST, and other authorities, the Standard's completely revised provisions cover minimum design, construction and landscaping elements for structures in the wildland/urban interface.
