While conducting fire inspections, inspectors look at many different areas of common fire hazard. Fire extinguishers that have not been serviced, extension cords used as permanent wiring, exit signs that do not function in battery back up mode, and exit passageways that are locked or blocked are the most common violations found during inspections. While these fire code violations are the most common, the fire inspector will look for hundreds of different fire hazards. These violations are intended to prevent fires, protect property/assets, and save lives in the commercial setting.
