Fire Escape Inspections: What You Need to Know

When was the last time your fire escape was inspected?

If you own or manage a residential or commercial building, this isn’t a task you can afford to overlook. Fire escapes aren’t just relics of the past—they are critical emergency exits that are legally required to be safe, accessible, and structurally sound. Neglecting their upkeep can come with serious consequences.

🚨 Why Regular Fire Escape Inspections Are Essential

Failing to maintain your fire escape can result in:

• ⚠️ Major fines from local building authorities

• ⚠️ Code violations that jeopardize your insurance coverage or lead to forced repairs

• ⚠️ Life-threatening failure in the event of a fire or emergency evacuation

Even a single loose bolt or rusted joint can turn a potential escape route into a death trap.

🔍 Common Issues We Encounter

Over time, exposure to the elements and lack of maintenance can cause fire escapes to deteriorate. Some of the most common problems we find include:

• 🔩 Loose anchors

• 🛠️ Rusted joints

• 🚫 Blocked or inaccessible ladders

Each of these is not only a violation but a major hazard.
