This is the electrical code book used in the United States of America. Rules set out for electricians to use, to keep all electrical installations the same for all jurisdictions throughout the country. Different regions will have addendum's additional to the code to cover different regional climates and conditions.
You can find these codes online at the national fire protection associate website. Here there is listed the information that you need to keep your home and business safe.
An electrical fire is a class 'C' fire. In addition, Class 'A' is combustibles that leave an ash. (Paper, etc.) Class 'B' is flammable liquids. Class 'C' is electrical. Class 'D' is a metal fire.
Power hopefully is removed so the fire cannot get bigger.
Electrical Design entails planning, creating, testing or supervising the development and installation of electrical equipment, including lighting design, power systems, power distribution, fire and life safety systems, electronic components and voice and data communications infrastructure. Typically, an Electrical Design position is held by an electrical engineer who has a bachelor's degree or even a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. The electrical equipment may be placed in commercial, educational, industrial, hospitality, residential, medical or government facilities.

The paperback version of the 2005 NEC code book has 792 pages. It is written by the National Fire Protection Agency. It is the standart for electrical and wiring regulations.
In the USA, the National Electrical Code is NFPA 70. There are several national fire codes, including National Fire Code (also called Uniform Fire Code); NFPA 1 (National Fire Protection Association) and the International Fire Code (International Code Council). Each of these references hundreds of other codes and standards, including Life Safety Code, Building Code, Electrical Code, etc.
NFPA stands for the National Fire Prevention Association. The NFPA has developed 300 codes for fire prevention and safety that are used in building codes in the United States and abroad.
Architects work with fire protection engineers to design buildings and building systems that are safe and conform to the appropriate building codes, fire codes, electrical codes, mechanical codes and life safety codes, among others. It is then up to the contractor to build it correctly and the owners to maintain it correctly.
Electrical codes or the NFPA70 and the standers for electrical work and are in place to protected the public from bad wiring that can cause fire's and other hazards
Major fire incidents have resulted in stricter electrical and building codes. For example, it used to be that fire detectors were not required, but they are required in many areas now. There are also stricter requirements on some building materials that have to be flame retardant, and stricter electrical codes.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a non-governmental trade association, publishes the NEC as well as other safety guidelines that may or may not be adopted by state regulatory agencies.
The National Fire Protection Agency works to educate the public about fire other hazards as well as advocating for universal and effective building codes and standards. NFPA provides a large amount of safety information as well as training to reduce the burden of fire hazards.
