Fire Safety Compliance Consulting

Opening a new kitchen or gearing up for an inspection you’re not confident about? A failed fire inspection can mean fines, a forced correction timeline, or in serious cases a temporary shutdown — costs that add up fast once lost operating time is factored in. We walk the space, flag anything that’s likely to draw a citation, and put together documentation that shows your fire marshal you’ve already addressed it.

What a compliance walkthrough covers

We go through your kitchen the same way a fire marshal would — hood and exhaust system condition, suppression and extinguisher tags, emergency lighting and exit signage, and general egress and equipment placement — and note anything that’s out of date, missing, or likely to draw attention.

Common violations we catch before they become citations

Grease buildup in hoods or ductwork, expired suppression or extinguisher tags, blocked or obstructed exits, and missing service documentation are among the most common issues that show up during a walkthrough — most of them are fixable in advance with routine maintenance rather than a scramble after a failed inspection.

Documentation that actually helps

You get a written record of what was checked and what was addressed, so if a fire marshal asks whether an item’s been handled, you have proof rather than just your word for it.

Who this is for

New restaurant buildouts preparing for their first inspection, kitchens that recently failed or came close to failing, ownership changes taking over a space with an unclear compliance history, and any owner who wants a second set of eyes before the fire marshal’s next visit.
