Crowd Managers at Large Gatherings
To better ensure the health and safety of the citizens and visitors of Fauquier County, the Statewide Fire Prevention Code (SFPC) was adopted and incorporated in Chapter 9 of the Fauquier County Code. It, along with all Fauquier County Codes and Ordinances, will be adhered to.
We ask that organized events follow these codes - including section 403.12.3 Crowd Managers which states in part:
403.12.3 Crowd Managers. Where facilities or events involve a gathering of more than 500 people, crowd managers shall be provided in accordance with Sections 403.12.3.1 through 403.12.3.3.
For a full reading of the SFPC section 403.12.3.1 through 403.12.3.3 visit to the following web page:
