Florida Gulf Coast projects move fast—and concealment does not wait for a fuzzy firestop record. Fire Examiners Life Safety Solutions provides independent third-party firestop special inspection for Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg area work, with a local office presence in St. Petersburg, FL.

We inspect through-penetration and joint firestop systems to ASTM E2174 and ASTM E2393, align with IBC 1705.17 special inspection requirements, and deliver documentation GCs, owners, and AHJs can use.
