Checklist

Fire alarm inspection checklist

Have the panel, the last report, and a person who can walk the devices.

Open a free ledger

Save the building in the free ledger so the next due date sits with the other systems.

Have these before the inspector is on site

  1. The panel location, plus the key or code that opens that room.
  2. The device list from the last report: pull stations, detectors, horns, strobes, and any duct detector that report already names.
  3. Battery and power notes written on that same report.
  4. The monitoring certificate or account, if this building has monitoring.
  5. The last inspection report, where the escort can open it.
  6. The deficiency or repair list, if the building has one.
  7. A person who can walk the devices and authorize the next date.
  8. The next due date, written down for the shop.

NFPA 72 is the usual reference for fire alarm inspection and testing. You set the rebook date.

Where this sits locally

There is no contractor directory on this site. The Chicagoland metro slot and the inspection-companies category are open on the homepage. No company is named until a real partner takes the slot.

Questions

How long should records be kept?

Keep the last report and any deficiency list the building already has. This site does not set a retention period. The inspection-day kit is the short printable list of what to have in hand.

Who can inspect the fire alarm?

LifeSafetyRebook does not inspect, approve, or certify a building. The shop the building already uses runs the test. The AHJ decides who it will accept on that visit.

LifeSafetyRebook is not an authority having jurisdiction and does not inspect, approve, or certify a building. The shop sets the interval. Rules vary by city and by water supplier. This page is not legal advice. LifeSafetyRebook does not estimate fines.
