What Building Owners in Yavapai County Need to Know About New Fire Compliance Requirements

The Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority and the City of Prescott Fire Department have implemented a new “Compliance Engine.” As part of the commitment to fire safety and compliance with local regulations, fire safety companies like All West Fire & Security are obligated by law to submit an inspection report for any facility to this new designated compliance engine. This new process requires all compliant and non-compliant fire protection systems’ test reports to be submitted electronically to the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority and City of Prescott Fire Department via The Compliance Engine’s online system at www.thecomplianceengine.com.

The purpose of the compliance engine is to serve as a platform that facilitates the inspection process and ensures adherence to fire codes, regulations and safety standards. A trusted fire protection service provider can handle all the necessary steps to ensure that your fire protection system is complying.

Upon completion of the inspection, a technician will review any deficiencies identified during the inspection. You will also receive a copy of the inspection report and be notified of any changes you’re required to make. It is encouraged that you to review the inspection report carefully and take appropriate action to rectify the identified deficiencies within the specified timeframe. Your consent is vital to ensure transparency and provide you with the opportunity to assess the situation and make informed decisions. Your fire protection company can provide pricing to address identified deficiencies and provide a solution in a timely manner.

As a building owner, your main objective should be to work together with all fire departments to maintain a safe and compliant environment.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this new inspection process, the compliance engine or the inspection report addressing deficiencies, please do not hesitate to reach out to your fire protection company or us. We are here to assist you and provide any necessary guidance. QCBN
