Have City Fire Represent You During Your Fire Marshal Inspection
If you run any kind of commercial enterprise in South Florida, you know your property must be inspected by the fire marshal each year to ensure your ongoing fire safety. The elements of your inspection will vary depending upon your industry and the function of your property—the fire marshal inspection for an auto shop is different than that of a restaurant.
That’s why it’s important to have a licensed fire safety professional present during your annual fire marshal inspection. The technicians at City Fire Inc. understand the fire codes, ordinances and standards unique to Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties and can answer any questions the fire marshal has regarding your fire safety system and equipment.
Fire Marshall Inspection FAQs
Getting ready for a fire inspection consists of various procedures. Verify that all fire exits are clear and unobstructed. Test and maintain fire safety equipment such as alarms, extinguishers, and sprinkler systems. Maintain records of frequent maintenance and inspections. Ensure that the electrical systems are in good shape. Employees should receive training on fire safety practices and evacuation preparations. Address any potential fire hazards, such as blocked emergency exits or improperly stored flammable goods. Collaborate with local fire departments and stay current on pertinent regulations. A well-prepared and structured strategy leads to a smooth and effective fire inspection.
Common violations found during fire marshal inspections include blocked exits and obstructed fire lanes, which impede evacuation and emergency access. Non-functional fire alarms and smoke detectors are critical safety oversights. Improper storage of flammable materials and inadequate fire extinguishers can pose significant hazards. Electrical violations, such as overloaded circuits and exposed wiring, are also frequently cited. Additionally, lack of proper signage for exits and fire equipment, and failure to maintain clear access to sprinkler systems, are common issues that need addressing.
