Is Your Commercial Building Up-to-Date with Fire Code Updates?

6/27/2019 (Permalink)

Did you know that sixty to eighty percent of businesses never recover from commercial building fire damages in Phoenix? It’s a once in a lifetime event, but happening one time is one time too many. It’s crucial to protect such value and to do that, keeping up with the latest fire code is necessary. Not only that, but the fines associated with not keeping up with the fire code are costly.

Prevent Commercial Building Fire Damages

The Phoenix fire code is updated each year and the city is currently reviewing the 2018 International Fire Code for adoption in 2019. Too many owners of commercial property fail to update the fire prevention system they have in place when these updates are made.

Code violations that are common among commercial property owners in Phoenix include:

• Failing to install sprinklers within building that now require them.
• Failing to install fire alarms where they are now required.
• Failing to update fire prevention equipment to comply with structural changes to the property such as signs, extinguishers and fire department hook-ups.
• Failing to maintain fire exits up to code standards

These common violations are virtually simple to apply considering the potential alternative and should be taken more seriously. Have questions? Call your local Phoenix Fire Department and request to have a firefighter come visit, prior to the official inspector, and educate you on the fire hazards in your commercial property as well as any violations that exist.
