The fire prevention and safety regulations enforced at McCormick Place are taken from the Chicago Fire Prevention Code, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and McCormick Place Operations Department. The Assistant Director of Fire Safety at McCormick Place and the Chicago Fire Department Bureau of Fire Prevention reserve the right to make any final decisions regarding the outlined requirements, according to Section 12-20 of the Municipal Code of Chicago on Fire Prevention.
Prior to the show opening, the Chicago Fire Marshal may inspect the booths to ensure these requirements are met. If they are not, adjustments can be costly, and if a booth imposes a significant fire hazard, it will be prohibited from exhibiting.
The Assistant Director of Fire Safety at 312-791-6079 (FAX 312-791-6013) can answer any questions or provide a set of fire code information.
