The Town of Fairplay has adopted the 2018 International Code Council Wildland-Urban Interface Code.
This code is designed to protect the Town and its residents in the event of a wildfire.
The map on the right is a Hazard map of the Town to define the Wildland-Urban Interface Areas per 302.2
The different areas have different requirements for exterior elements of buildings. Areas that are not shaded are considered low hazard and the Wildland-Urban Interface Code is not applicable
For new construction, each site will be evaluated to determine the hazard category.
