Fire Alarm

The City of Gaithersburg requires ALL fire protection and life safety systems to be registered with the City of Gaithersburg’s Compliance Engine Program. These systems require periodic testing and maintenance by qualified individuals. The associated fee for each fire protection system inspection report is $75.00 per building, per system.

The City of Gaithersburg has entered into a contract with Brycer LLC., The Compliance Engine in updating our property records regarding the maintenance of fire protection and life safety systems within the city.

Fire protection and life safety systems consist of:

  • Sprinkler systems, standpipe systems and fire pumps
  • Building fire alarms
  • Emergency generators
  • Commercial Kitchen cooking fire protection & exhaust cleaning
  • Specialty fire systems such as FM 200 and clean agents
  • Private fire hydrants
  • Smoke Control Systems

The above-mentioned fire protection and life safety systems all require periodic maintenance, testing, and inspection.

The property owner, manager, or party responsible shall ensure that all inspection, testing, and maintenance records, along with the required fees be submitted through The Compliance Engine for review by the City Fire Marshal’s Office.

The property owner, manager, or party responsible shall keep a copy of the most recent inspection, maintenance, and testing records shall be kept onsite and available to the AHJ upon request.

Your fire protection and life safety system service contractors will coordinate the upload of maintenance records into their secure web-based data management system for the sole purpose of review and approval by the City of Gaithersburg.
