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.

NFPA 25 2026 Edition: Key Changes You Need to Know

The 2026 edition of NFPA 25 (Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems) brings several updates that fire protection contractors need to understand now — before your next AHJ inspection catches you off guard.

Why This Matters

NFPA 25 is the standard that governs how sprinkler systems, standpipes, fire pumps, and water storage tanks are inspected and maintained after installation. If NFPA 13 tells you how to build it, NFPA 25 tells you how to keep it working.

The 2026 edition refines requirements across multiple areas. Here's what matters most for contractors in the field.

Key Changes in the 2026 Edition

Enhanced Documentation Requirements

The 2026 edition strengthens Section 4.3 documentation requirements. Inspection records now require more granular detail:

Component-level identification — each device inspected must be individually identified, not just grouped by system

Deficiency severity classification — findings must be categorized by severity (critical, non-critical, observation)

Timeline for corrective action — documented expected completion dates for all deficiencies, not just critical ones

Digital records explicitly recognized — the 2026 edition formally acknowledges digital inspection platforms as compliant record-keeping methods

This is a big deal. If you're still using paper forms, you're not just slow — you're increasingly out of step with what AHJs expect.

Obstruction Investigation Updates

Chapter 14 (Internal Conditions of Piping) has been refined:

Trigger thresholds clarified — clearer criteria for when an obstruction investigation is required vs. recommended

MIC (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion) testing — expanded guidance on when biological testing is required

Documentation of internal inspections — photo documentation of pipe internals now recommended as best practice

Fire Pump Testing Refinements

Annual flow test procedures updated with clearer acceptance criteria

Diesel engine fire pumps — additional maintenance items for fuel system integrity

Electric fire pump controllers — updated test sequences for transfer switches

Antifreeze System Changes

Antifreeze systems continue to be tightened:

Concentration testing frequency increased for certain occupancy types

Pre-mixed solution requirements reinforced — field mixing restrictions remain strict

Maximum system size guidance updated

What This Means for Your Business

1. Upgrade Your Documentation

If you're still handwriting inspection reports, the 2026 edition makes it even harder to stay compliant with paper. AHJs are increasingly expecting:

Individual device identification

Severity-classified deficiency lists

Photo documentation

Timestamped records

Digital inspection software handles all of this automatically.

2. Train Your Techs

The new severity classification system means your inspectors need to understand the difference between critical and non-critical findings — and document them correctly.

3. Update Your Checklists

If you're using checklist templates from the 2020 or 2023 edition, review them against the 2026 changes. Missing new requirements means missed deficiencies, which means liability.

How FireLog Handles 2026 Compliance

FireLog's NFPA 25 inspection templates are updated for the 2026 edition:

Individual device tracking — each sprinkler head, valve, and component gets its own record

Built-in severity classification — tap critical, non-critical, or observation for each finding

Photo documentation — snap photos inline, attached to the specific deficiency

Automatic PDF reports — branded, timestamped, AHJ-ready

Corrective action tracking — set due dates, assign responsibility, track completion

Bottom Line

The 2026 edition of NFPA 25 continues the trend toward more detailed, more accountable inspection documentation. For contractors still on paper, the gap between what you're doing and what's expected is growing every cycle.

The good news: if you're already using digital inspection software, most of these changes are handled automatically. If you're not, now is the time to switch.
