What Is an Active Fire Protection Inspection?

An active fire inspection involves checking all systems that detect, alert and suppress fire automatically.

This includes:

  • Fire alarm systems

  • Smoke and heat detectors

  • Emergency lighting interfaces

  • Clean agent suppression systems

  • Sprinkler and pre-action systems

  • Fire extinguishers

  • Fire panels and control equipment

  • Monitoring connections

Unlike passive fire protection (fire doors, walls, compartmentation), active systems require regular servicing and testing to remain effective.
