Question 1

Which condition would a Fireguard identify as a common fire hazard in a place of assembly?

Flame-retardant treated and certified per NYC Fire Code

NYC Fire Code requires that all decorative materials in places of assembly be flame-retardant treated with documentation available for inspection.
