Fire Inspections
The Fire Marshal's Office conducts fire inspections of commercial properties and businesses in accordance with Lower Moreland Township's Fire Prevention Code Chapter 105 and the 2015 International Fire Code. The purpose of this annual inspection program is to safeguard property and occupants from fire and explosion hazards. Care must be taken in the storage, handling and use of substances, materials and devices as this can lead to conditions hazardous to life or property.
Areas of focus during the inspection will include but not be limited to the following:
- Emergency exits, doors and pathways clear of obstructions and in working order
- Electrical panels labeled for their use and clear of any obstructions
- Boiler/Mechanical rooms maintained and cleaned
- Storage/Utility rooms maintained and cleaned
- Outside storage maintained if permitted
- Storage of Hazardous Materials
- Review fire alarm systems and sprinkler system (if applicable)
