Fire Department Inspections and Assistance
To reduce the chance of fire occurring within our building, Denver Fire Department personnel periodically conduct Fire Prevention inspections in compliance with City and County of Denver ordinances. The condition and usability of means of egress, life safety systems, interior finish, emergency lighting, exit signs, and all fire doors are evaluated. These inspections are effective because hazards that could cause a fire or allow a fire to spread are identified. The inspectors check for accumulation of combustible trash and debris, storage practices, maintenance procedures, and the safe operation of building utilities. Inspectors also verify the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of fire protection features, systems, and appliances within the building. The fire safety systems are subjected to a formal inspection, testing, and maintenance programs. These records are reviewed by Fire Department inspectors.
Technical information on the Tamarac Plaza building is gathered by the Fire Department during such inspections. This information is used in pre-fire planning, which ensures effective emergency operations. This information is valuable to the Fire Department in case of a fire or other emergency at the property.
In addition, the Fire Department reviews these Emergency Action Plans to ensure they are adequate and up to date. In some cases the Fire Department will witness an actual emergency evacuation drill to evaluate its effectiveness.
