Stay on Top of Fire Safety Inspections

Command Established gives your department a complete inspection workflow—from building a code library to recording findings on-site to tracking compliance over time. Everything your inspectors need, nothing they don't.

One Place for All Your Inspections

The Inspections module gives you a centralized list of every inspection your department has conducted or has scheduled—filtered by status, location, inspector, and date. Passed, failed, in-progress, and scheduled inspections are all tracked together so nothing slips through the cracks.

Each inspection record captures the location, inspector, inspection type (annual, complaint, pre-occupancy, etc.), scheduled date, findings, photos, and overall notes. When an inspection is complete, the record is preserved for compliance history and audits.

Build or Adopt a Code Set

Before you can record violations, your department needs a code library. Command Established lets you build your own code set from scratch or import pre-built packs based on NFPA 1, NFPA 101, or ICC fire codes.

Each code entry includes a code number, description, and category. When inspectors find a violation on-site, they reference your code set to tag each finding with the exact code it violates—making reports clear and defensible. You can maintain multiple code sets (for example, one for commercial occupancies and one for residential) and select the appropriate one per inspection.

Register the Locations You Inspect

Create a record for every property in your jurisdiction that you inspect regularly—restaurants, hotels, industrial facilities, offices, or any commercial occupancy. Each location stores the business name, address, occupancy type, risk level, and primary contact information.

The location detail page gives you the full history of every inspection conducted there, including a violations history across all past inspections. When you schedule a new inspection for that address, it's linked automatically—so you always have context before you walk through the door.

Conduct Inspections and Record Findings

Create a new inspection, assign it to an inspector, and start recording findings as you walk the property. Each finding captures the specific code violated, a description of the violation, severity (critical, major, or minor), and whether it was corrected on the spot.

For repeat inspections, you don't have to build findings from scratch every time. Define a checklist template once—organized by category, with code references attached to each item—then apply it to any new inspection with one click. Every item converts into a pre-loaded finding ready for the inspector to mark pass, fail, or corrected on-site. Your department can maintain separate checklists for different occupancy types, and one can be set as the default so it's always ready to go.

When you're done, mark the inspection passed or failed based on the findings. The completed record is immediately available in the location's history and in your department's analytics dashboard. Inspectors can work on a tablet in the field—the interface is designed for touch and adapts to mobile screen sizes.

Schedule Follow-Up Inspections in One Click

When an inspection fails, you don't need to manually create a follow-up. Command Established detects uncorrected findings and surfaces a "Schedule Re-inspection" button directly on the failed inspection record.

Click it, pick a date, and a new linked inspection is created and assigned—pre-populated with the location and inspector from the original. The follow-up inspection appears in your list immediately, so your compliance deadlines stay visible and nothing gets forgotten.

The "Schedule Re-inspection" dialog appears automatically on failed inspections with uncorrected findings—just pick a date and go.

Stay Ahead with Reports and Analytics

The Inspection Analytics dashboard gives you a high-level view of your department's compliance activity. See inspection counts by status, pass rates over time, the most common violation types, and inspector performance—all updated in real time.

Use the dashboard to identify patterns: which occupancy types fail most often, which code sections generate the most violations, and which locations are overdue for re-inspection. This turns your inspection data into actionable insights for prioritizing your department's workload.

Note: Already doing inspections? If your department has existing inspection records in spreadsheets, paper logs, or another system, we'll help you migrate them. We work with you to import your historical inspection data—locations, past inspections, and findings—so you don't lose your compliance history when you switch. Contact us about importing your data.
