State Fire Marshal (SFM) Review

SFM review and approval is required for all CSU construction and renovation projects

In general, SFM approval entails a plan review followed by periodic SFM field inspections, concluding with issuance of a SFM Certificate of Occupancy (C of O). For renovation work where the original C of O remains in place a SFM Notice of Acceptance for the supplemental work is issued.

In most cases for ‘CSU’ projects, SFM is the controlling authority for fire life/safety. The SFM Fire & Life Safety Division
