Oakland County Fire Suppression Inspections by Arbor Inspections

The Fire Prevention Code of 1941 was enacted in Michigan to "provide for the prevention of fires and the protection of persons and property from exposure to the dangers of fire or explosion (and) to control the construction, use, and occupancy of buildings and premises in relation to safety, including fire safety." More codes, laws, and amendments for fire safety have been added to this very significant landmark act. Certainly, lives have been saved, and property spared as a result of these efforts.

The necessity of fire suppression systems cannot be understated. Saving lives is of the utmost importance and the purpose of fire safety. Stopping fires before they start, or at least minimizing damage to property, is second. Fire suppression systems may be antifreeze systems, wet systems, dry systems, or another suppression system, but and each requires routine inspections according to the fire safety code requirements.

Your Building's Fire Suppression Systems Must Be Routinely Inspected in Oakland County

Property managers and building owners know that Fire Safety Rules and Code Requirements outline the necessity and frequency of fire suppression system inspections. Main drains, fire pumps, and all parts associated with a suppression system also fall under the code. Failure to comply and stay up to date will result in fines and penalties for not complying with the inspection requirements.

R 29.2802 states that system testing, servicing, inspection, or maintenance by a certified firm is required, as such:
"Rule 2. (1) Testing, servicing, inspection, or maintenance functions which are intended to be performed by persons who have special training, knowledge, and equipment and which is so indicated in the manufacturer's instructions or a nationally recognized code are required to be performed by a certified firm. At a minimum of once a year, system tests of required fire alarm systems and fire suppression systems shall be conducted in compliance with the standards adopted by reference in R 29.2809 by a certified firm."
