Right now that answer is a tick in a register, a photo on somebody's phone, and a promise to look at it next month. Play through what the same finding looks like on Fast Fire Audit.
Simulated site data — everything on this page is live and clickable
Every device has a due date. Every date that slips leaves an area covered by equipment nobody has verified — for a length of time you can actually measure. Move the sliders to your building.
A monthly visual check by trained in-house staff, a quarterly inspection whose records Factories Act premises are expected to maintain, a thorough annual inspection by a certified technician, annual refilling, and hydrostatic testing every five years.
IS 2190 — Code of Practice for First-Aid Fire ExtinguishersThe owner or occupier of a covered building must have its fire-fighting installations inspected by a licensed agency and furnish the prescribed certificate to the Chief Fire Officer twice a year. The obligation sits with the occupier, not the vendor.
Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006A systematic examination of the building against Part 4 — Fire and Life Safety. The Code also expects periodic inspection by the building's own occupants, and places responsibility for keeping installations in working order on the owner or occupier.
National Building Code of India 2016, Part 4The schedule lives in one person's diary. He goes on leave in April, and April's checks quietly do not happen. Nobody notices until the next audit — or the next fire.
The blocked exit was raised in March. And again in June. Without an owner, a target date and an escalation, a finding is a sentence in a report, not a thing that gets fixed.
Six months of ticks in the same pen, signed in one sitting. It satisfies a filing cabinet. It does not satisfy a fire officer who asks who stood in front of this device, and when.
Every extinguisher, hydrant, detector, panel, door and pump is registered once and gets a printed barcode or QR tag, or an NFC sticker. An auditor scans it on his phone and the device's entire record opens — which also proves he was standing in front of it.

Point the camera at the device tag
The same card opens from a QR scan, an NFC tap or a search
This is the real sequence: found at the device, alerted to the group, assigned with a target date, covered in the meantime, root cause recorded, fixed by a licensed agency, and closed only after someone else verifies it. Every step stamped with a name and a time.
The same alerts go out on email and SMS
Every device category carries its own frequency. Each due date raises an alert before it lapses, puts the right checklist on the auditor's phone, and records the result against the device. Thirty days in Block B, run both ways.
A live board for every area and system, and the numbers that tell you whether compliance is actually improving. Compliance by area, devices overdue, how long findings take to close, and how many checks landed on time.
An inspection is not really a test of your equipment. It is a test of whether you can prove your equipment has been looked after. This is the pack Fast Fire Audit produces on the spot — press the button and watch it assemble.
Dhruv AI reads your own device and audit history and answers. It also clusters the free-text remarks auditors write into recurring themes — the patterns a fixed report will never show you, because nobody thought to ask for that column.
