Inspection FAQs

What's the difference between inspections conducted by the Fire Department vs. by Fire Protection Technicians?

Fire Department Inspections are regulatory—they ensure your property complies with fire codes, focusing on safety risks like blocked exits, building construction, or non-compliant fire protection systems. These are periodic and may result in fines or notices of violation. Our Fire Protection Technicians focus on your fire systems, performing detailed checks, testing, and inspections to keep everything operational and code-compliant. Think of us as your first line of defense, ensuring you’re ready for both emergencies and mandatory fire department inspections. Book your inspection with us.
