Are you dealing with an uncorrected fire department citation that needs quick and professional attention?

Receiving a violation or citation from your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) can seem daunting. Are there penalties or fines? How much will it cost if I don’t get this citation fixed right away?

Rest assured that your AHJ is just making sure you facility is safe for all employees and visitors to your building. They are not out to get you.

Why are citations given?

Fire code enforcement protects property and saves lives. There are fire safety codes to which your business must adhere. These codes vary by city, county, and state.

Citations are given to businesses that are in violation of these fire codes. Blocked exits, missing emergency lighting, or faulty sprinkler systems are all examples of dangerous violations.

If a violation was found at your business, the Fire Marshal will give you a date (for example 30 days) in which you have to have your systems back in compliance.

It’s important to contact your fire protection company immediately so that repairs can be made in a timely manner. Your fire protection company should be able to schedule repairs and put your business back in compliancy.

What are some common code violations?

Common fire code violations include:

  • Annual Fire Extinguisher Maintenance—When was the last time your Fire Extinguishers were inspected?
  • Annual Flow Test & Dry Pipe Valve Trip Test of the Fire Sprinkler System – When was the last time your Fire Sprinkler System or Fire Pump was inspected?
  • Annual Exit & Emergency Lighting Inspections—When was the time your E-lights were inspected?
  • Semi-Annual Restaurant Fire System Maintenance—Has it been more than 6 months since your Restaurant Fire Suppression System was inspected?
  • Annual Fire Alarm Inspection—Is it time to have a complete Fire Alarm Inspection? Is your fire alarm system monitored?
  • Quarterly Fire Sprinkler Inspections—When was the last quarterly inspection of your fire sprinkler system?
