of the 10 Easy Ways to
Fail a Fire Inspection.

3. #1 HAVING AN UNMARKED OR NON-
VISIBLE STREET ADDRESS ON THE FRONT OF
YOUR BUILDING
Assume that there
being an emergency in
your building and the
authorities and aid
couldn't find it because
they can't make out if
they have the right
address!

4. #2 EXIT DOOR(S) ARE DIFFICULT TO OPEN
FROM INSIDE
Imagine if one were to
break out and your
occupants had to
hastily remember a
secret password to exit,
or worse, they couldn't
unlock the door.

5. #3 STAIRWAYS, AISLES, PATHWAYS
AND/OR WALKWAYS ARE NOT CLEAR OF
OBSTRUCTIONS OR STORAGE

6. #4 EMERGENCY LIGHTING AREN'T WORKING
PROPERLY FOR NORMAL, EMERGENCY OR
BOTH MODES

PANELS AND JUNCTION BOXES THAT ARE
UNCOVERED. NEEDS APPROPRIATE COVER
PLATE AND HAVE CLEAR ACCESS TO PANELS.
#6 USING EXTENSION CORDS FOR
PERMANENT PURPOSES.

8. #7 NOT NAVING FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
VISIBLE, OPERABLE OR PRESENT
One way to make a
routine fire inspection
last longer than it should,
if by having inoperable
equipment. If one unit
isn't working, this will
prompt the inspector to
test all of them.

9. #8 HAVING AN UNSERVICED FIRE

Must be serviced every 5
years by licensed fire

could be a liability both
for fire inspection and
insurance wise.

GASSES, SOLIDS) THAT AREN'T SAFELY
