Business Fire Safety Pre-inspection Checklist

Poudre Fire Authority Firefighters and Fire Prevention Staff conduct over 3000 Business Fire Safety Inspections each year.

Fires in businesses in the areas served by Poudre Fire Authority are well below the national average.

We believe that these Fire Safety Inspections have a lot to do with keeping the incidence of fires in local business low. This is because fire hazards are identified and corrected before they cause a fire.

We also know from experience that our local business owners are “Fire Smart,” and have learned how to keep fire hazards out of their business.

This “FIRE SAFETY CHECKLIST” can be used everyday as a Fire Safety Checkup. Use it before every PFA Fire Safety Inspection and get 100% on your Fire Inspection.
