Inspections / Permits / Plan Review

According to the “Fire Loss in the United States During 2021” report, published by NFPA, there were roughly 1.35 million fires in the United States in 2021, causing a reported 3,800 civilian fire deaths and 14,700 civilian injuries. The property damage caused by these fires was nearly $15.9 billion.

A critical part of reducing the loss of life, injuries, and property damage from these hazards is fire prevention.
