All state occupied projects.

and fire department is responsible for the rest?

Yes, unless in jurisdiction of another state agency, like OSHPD.
I'm not sure what the current status is for schools as to whether DSA does it in house or uses SFM or local.

Interesting topic. I wonder if SFM gets to review
projects inside tribal property since fire hazard does not
know property limit.

Thanks Coach. you are right.


"For hospital buildings, skilled nursing facilities and intermediate care facilities, the OSHPD
shall also enforce the regulations of the California Building Standards Code as adopted by
the Office of the State Fire Marshal and the Division of the State Architect/Access
Compliance Section, for fire and life safety and accessibility compliance for persons with
disabilities. "
