Executive Summary
A fire inspection was conducted to find out the basic preparations including the extinguishers, the escape routes and exits, signs, emergency lighting and fire alarm. There was also a check done in order to understand if there was an access to the fire department and the presence of emergency department service. Most of the basic equipments and services were present however the extinguisher check was done last, in the month of July 2010 which is not acceptable per the standards. There were no fire alarms present, which is an immediate concern.
