Minneapolis–St. Paul projects often combine winter schedules, dense MEP, and strict closeout expectations. Fire Examiners Life Safety Solutions provides independent third-party firestop special inspection for Twin Cities work, with a local office presence in St. Paul, MN.

We inspect through-penetration and joint firestop systems to ASTM E2174 and ASTM E2393, align with IBC 1705.17 special inspection requirements, and produce documentation owners, GCs, and AHJs can review. We inspect; we do not install. Across our markets, we have completed 45,000+ firestop inspections.
