Fire and Life Safety Inspections
The Middletown Township Department of Public Safety is dedicated to protecting our community through comprehensive fire prevention and life safety initiatives. Our Fire and Life Safety Inspections program ensures compliance with the 2018 International Fire Code (IFC), as adopted by Middletown Township. These annual inspections help identify and mitigate potential hazards in homes, businesses, and public spaces, fostering a safer environment for all residents and visitors.
Why Inspections Matter
Regular fire and life safety inspections are critical to preventing emergencies and safeguarding lives and property. The 2018 IFC sets rigorous standards for fire prevention, building safety, and emergency preparedness, addressing everything from fire protection systems to safe evacuation routes. By adhering to these codes, we reduce risks like fires, explosions, and structural failures. In Middletown, our inspections focus on ensuring compliance with IFC requirements, such as properly maintained smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and safe storage of hazardous materials.
The Inspection Process
Our inspection process is streamlined and user-friendly, ensuring compliance with the 2018 IFC:
- Scheduling: Contact our Public Safety Department at publicsafety@middletowndelcopa.gov to arrange a convenient time.
- On-Site Review: A certified inspector conducts a non-invasive walkthrough, assessing compliance with the IFC and Middletown Township standards. Inspections typically take 30-60 minutes.
- Report and Corrections: You’ll receive a detailed report outlining any violations (e.g., IFC Section 110.3 for hazards requiring correction). Common fixes, like replacing smoke detectors, are often simple and cost-effective.
- Re-Inspection: We’ll follow up to verify compliance that all violations have been corrected.
