Oregon Fire Code Errata

Oregon Fire Code Errata 2025 Edition

Updated February 2026

The following are errata for the published 2025 Oregon Fire Code (OFC).

OSFM issues errata when there is a mistake in the printing, or when a referenced section needs to be corrected in alignment with another section or code.

Changes are denoted as follows: 

Blue/underline: added language to printed 2025 OFC

Red/strikethrough: deleted language from printed 2025 OFC

Green: notes 

Chapter 1 Scope and administration

105.5.3 Amusement areas. An operational permit is required to operate a special amusement area, including but not limited to haunted houses, puzzle rooms and agricultural mazes.

  • Key word was omitted.

Chapter 2 Definitions

202 FIREWORKS. Any composition or device for the purpose of producing a visible or an audible effect for entertainment purposes by combustion, deflagration or detonation as defined in ORS 480.111.

ORS 480.111 is not a part of this code but is reprinted or paraphrased here for the reader's convenience:
ORS 480.11.1. 480.111. Fireworks means any composition or device, including USDOT Division 1.3 and 1.4 explosives, used as consumer fireworks, display fireworks, exempt fireworks, pyrotechnic articles, special effects fireworks, or other pyrotechnic devices.

•         Typo.  Minor but important correction. 


Chapter 12 Energy Systems

1205.5.3 Array and Site Maintenance.  Solar photovoltaic systems and associated equipment shall be maintained in accordance with their listing, Section 603 of this code, NFPA 70B Chapter 30, and as required in the approved Wildfire Mitigation Plan.

  • This important 2025 amendment, which was unintentionally omitted, is a companion to the Chapter 80 Reference Standards entry for NFPA 70B—23: “Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance": 1205.5.3 which was printed correctly. This addition should be positioned below the existing User Note.

Chapter 41 TEMPORARY HEATING AND COOKING OPERATIONS

4106.2.15.4  LP-gas container construction. LP-gas containers shall be manufactured in compliance with the requirements of NFPA 58. The installation of LP-gas systems on vehicles shall comply with NFPA 58, Section 6.26. 6.27.
