The complete NFPA standards fill one entire shelf in my bookcase. They cover everything form basics, like standards for fire extinguishers and sprinklers, to the Life Safety Code (building construction, means of egress, emergency lighting) to construction of facilities for handling flammable liquids.

Life Safety Code addresses the features of a structure that provide for protection of the occupants from injury or death due to fire or explosion. Such features include requirements for structure, exits, limits on occupancy types, limits on occupant numbers, fire protection systems and operating procedures to maintain safety. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) maintains a Life Safety Code under NFPA 101, which contains cross references to other NFPA standards, building standards and engineering standards.

No, there are many different standards that have been adopted or enacted as code in different states, including the International Fire Code and International Building Code, neither of which have any connection with NFPA.
