5-Year Fire Escape & Load Test Inspections in Orange County

Every property owner and property manager in Orange County is responsible for maintaining safe and code-compliant fire escapes. According to the California Fire Code (CFC 1032.2.1.3) and International Fire Code (IFC 1104.16.5), all fire escapes must undergo a load test and inspection every five years to ensure structural integrity.

Great Escape Service & Inspections offers comprehensive 5-year fire escape and load test inspections across Orange County, serving Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, and Costa Mesa.

1. What’s Included in a 5-Year Fire Escape Inspection

Our certified inspectors assess:

  • Structural condition of ladders, platforms, and anchor points

  • Rust and corrosion issues

  • Connection stability and weld integrity

  • Load capacity testing for emergency evacuation safety

Upon completion, you’ll receive a Certificate of Compliance and documentation to satisfy local fire marshals and insurance providers.

2. Why It’s Critical for Orange County Buildings

Many older Orange County buildings—especially those in Downtown Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, and Huntington Beach—still rely on original fire escape systems. Exposure to ocean air and weather can accelerate corrosion, weakening steel components. Regular fire escape inspections and load testing help prevent failure and ensure compliance with California fire safety laws.

3. Protecting Tenants, Owners, and Property Managers

Whether you manage an apartment complex, commercial property, or mixed-use building, keeping your fire escapes certified is a legal requirement and a life-saving measure.

Conclusion

Fire escapes save lives—if they’re ready when you need them.
