Does FireLog work offline?

Yes. Mechanical rooms, basements, and rural properties often have no signal. FireLog works offline and syncs your inspections when you reconnect.

Can I customize the NFPA checklists?

Yes. We include pre-built templates for NFPA 10, 25, 72, and 80. You can modify them or create completely custom checklists for any inspection type.

How do branded PDF reports work?

Add your company logo and info in Settings. Every inspection report is automatically generated as a professional PDF with your branding. Email it to the building owner in one tap.

No. Month-to-month, cancel anytime. We also offer an annual plan at $59/mo (save $240/year).

How many inspectors can I add?

Unlimited. $79/mo covers your entire team — 1 inspector or 50. No per-user fees.

Can building owners access their reports?

Yes. You can email reports directly from the app or share a link. Building owners see a professional branded report with your company info.

What about deficiency tracking?

Every failed checklist item automatically creates a trackable deficiency. Assign it to a tech, set a priority and due date, track resolution. Nothing gets lost.

Do you integrate with other software?

QuickBooks integration is available for invoicing. Additional integrations (ServiceTitan, scheduling tools) are on the roadmap.

Fire Inspection Report Template

A fire inspection report isn't just paperwork — it's a legal document. When the AHJ requests records, or when a building owner needs proof of compliance for insurance, your report is the evidence. Here's what it needs to include.

Required Elements

1. Company Information

Company name and logo

License number / certification

Contact information (phone, email, address)

Inspector name and credentials

2. Building Information

Building name

Street address

Building type (commercial, residential, institutional, industrial)

Contact person (building owner/manager)

Contact phone and email

3. Inspection Details

Date of inspection

Type of inspection (fire extinguisher, sprinkler, alarm, door)

Applicable NFPA code (NFPA 10, 25, 72, 80)

Previous inspection date (if known)

Next recommended inspection date

4. Checklist Results

Every item checked should show:

Item description (what was inspected)

Result (pass / fail / N/A / not inspected)

Notes on any deficiency found

Priority level for failures (low, medium, high, critical)

Photo documentation (especially for deficiencies)

5. Overall Result

Pass — all items meet NFPA requirements

Pass with Deficiencies — minor issues noted, corrections recommended

Fail — critical deficiencies found, immediate action required

6. Deficiency Summary

A separate section listing:

Each deficiency found

Priority level

Recommended corrective action

Deadline for correction (if applicable)

Assigned to (if known)

7. Signature Block

Inspector signature and printed name

Date signed

Building owner/manager signature (acknowledgment of findings)

Date signed

Common Mistakes

1. Missing Photos

AHJs increasingly expect photo documentation, especially for deficiencies. "The hose was cracked" carries more weight with a photo attached.

2. Vague Deficiency Descriptions

"Extinguisher needs service" doesn't help anyone. Be specific: "Unit #3 (2nd floor hallway) — pressure gauge reads below operable range, recharge required."

3. No Next Inspection Date

Every report should clearly state when the next inspection is due. This protects both you (return business) and the building owner (compliance continuity).

4. Illegible Handwriting

The #1 problem with paper reports. Digital reports eliminate this entirely.

5. Lost Records

Paper gets lost. Files get deleted. Digital inspection software with cloud backup means records are always available for audits.

Paper vs Digital Reports

| | Paper | Digital (FireLog) |

|---|---|---|

| Time per report | 15-30 min | 3-5 min |

| Legibility | Depends on handwriting | Always perfect |

| Photos | Separate camera, attach later | Inline, automatic |

| Filing | Filing cabinets, binders | Cloud, searchable |

| Retrieval for audits | Hours of searching | Instant |

| Cost per report | $2-5 (printing, copies) | $0 |

| Professional appearance | Varies widely | Branded, consistent |
