Fire inspection

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The fire inspection, fire safety show or fire prevention show serves to identify fire-hazardous conditions. It includes all preventive fire protection measures that counteract the development and spread of fires and enable effective fire fighting and the rescue of people, animals and irretrievable cultural assets in the event of a fire . The fire prevention show also includes preventive fire protection measures to prevent explosions and to avert dangers for fire brigades in action.

The fire prevention show extends to buildings, systems, facilities and storage facilities (objects) where there is an increased risk of fire or explosion or a large number of people, property or the environment are endangered to a considerable extent by a fire.

Fire inspection in Germany

In Germany, the organization and implementation of the fire prevention show is regulated in the regulations of the individual federal states. In Bavaria in particular , the implementation is regulated at the discretion of the municipality, which is also obliged to carry out the fire inspection by the relevant ordinance.

Fire inspection in Austria

In Austria, the fire inspection of one and two-family houses is carried out by the chimney sweep . The fire brigade is involved in larger residential buildings as well as commercial and industrial properties. Since a fire inspection often reveals deficiencies that can only be remedied with effort and costs, reporting them is a delicate task, especially for the volunteer fire brigade , as it also depends on the financial support of the property owners for collections, for example their improve your own equipment. As a result, the acting persons are always in conflict to prescribe something or to overlook it. Therefore the fire brigade tried for a long time to give up this activity, which they succeeded in doing a few years ago with the majority of the buildings.

A fire inspection is usually required every five years.
