Statutory fire audits follow the rules of the local fire authority and the National Building Code; check what yours requires.

A fire audit checklist turns that call into a structured walk-through, a report and usually a quote. This list is for your pre-audit and AMC walk-throughs; statutory audits follow the local fire authority and the National Building Code. ## Fire audit checklist: equipment - Extinguishers: type suits the risk, in place, pressure, seal, refill and test dates, tags - Hydrants and hose reels: access clear, valves, hoses, nozzles, pump status - Sprinklers: heads unobstructed, valves open and locked, gauges - Fire alarm: panel normal, detectors, call points, hooters, battery ## Exits and signage - Exit routes clear, doors open outward and are not locked - Emergency lighting and exit signs working - Evacuation plans displayed; assembly point marked ## Risks and housekeeping - Electrical: overloaded sockets, open panels, damaged cables - Flammables: stored in limited quantities, away from heat - Kitchens and DG rooms: cleanliness, fuel storage - Waste and storage blocking equipment or exits ## Records and training - Equipment service records and AMC - Fire drill records, trained staff list - Previous audit observations and status ## From findings to work Record each observation with a photo, its risk and the action. Quote the corrective work, then keep the equipment on a schedule with the [fire extinguisher inspection checklist](https://servicepilot.in/blog/fire-safety/fire-extinguisher-inspection-checklist/), the [fire alarm maintenance checklist](https://servicepilot.in/blog/fire-safety/fire-alarm-maintenance-checklist/) and the [fire hydrant maintenance checklist](https://servicepilot.in/blog/fire-safety/fire-hydrant-maintenance-checklist/).
