During a meeting Feb. 7, the Hendersonville City Council voted to adopt a code amendment aimed at streamlining the city’s fire protection systems.
The amendment will allow all required monthly, quarterly and annual system inspections, testing and maintenance required by the North Carolina Fire Code and the National Fire Protection Association to be provided to the Hendersonville Fire Department through an approved third-party inspection reporting system.
“Implementing an updated reporting system allows our Life Safety Division to more efficiently process, manage and document compliance reports,” said City Fire Marshal Justin Ward. “It provides a platform for more effective communication between property owners, contractors and inspectors regarding deadlines, testing and identifying deficiencies.”
