Fire alarm inspections under NFPA 72 are some of the most complex inspections in fire protection. Different editions have different requirements. Healthcare facilities need Joint Commission or DNV formatting. AHJs want to see specific code references. And your report has to hold up under scrutiny.
Fire Inspect Hub was built to handle all of this — without the workarounds, manual formatting, or generic form builders that other platforms force you to use.
Last updated June 29, 2026 — Added home-screen install (PWA): add Fire Inspect Hub to your phone or tablet home screen and it opens like any other app.
Edition Support: 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019
Different jurisdictions adopt different editions of NFPA 72. Fire Inspect Hub lets you select the edition at the start of each inspection, and the checklist automatically adjusts to match the requirements of that specific edition. No more maintaining separate templates or manually tracking which items apply to which edition.
Joint Commission & DNV Healthcare Report Formats
If you inspect fire alarm systems in hospitals, surgery centers, or other healthcare facilities, you know that surveyors expect format-specific reports. Fire Inspect Hub supports both major accreditation frameworks: Joint Commission EC.02.03.05 and DNV NIAHO (PE.2 / SR.10). One toggle switches your PDF output to either format — same inspection data, surveyor-ready output.
No reformatting. No separate templates. Just toggle and generate.
NFPA Code References on Every Checklist Item
Every item on the NFPA 72 checklist includes the specific NFPA code section it references. When a building manager or AHJ asks why you flagged something, the code reference is right there on the report. Your inspections demonstrate code-level compliance — not just "we checked the box."
4-Level Compliance Status
Most inspection platforms give you pass or fail. Fire Inspect Hub uses a 4-level compliance system that matches the real-world complexity of fire alarm inspections:

Beyond the inspection: alarm install & power documentation
The alarm job doesn't start at the annual inspection. Fire Inspect Hub also carries the install-side and design-data documents that come with a fire alarm system, so the same platform that runs the ITM holds the record that proves the system was accepted and powered as designed.
NFPA 72 Record of Completion
Generate the NFPA 72 Record of Completion (Figure 7.8.2(a)) as a structured install-acceptance document. Fill it once at system acceptance, capture the equipment counts and system-power details, and both the installing contractor and the owner's representative sign. Winning the install is often how you win the ITM contract that follows.
Battery & power documentation
Every alarm system runs on secondary power — the control panel plus each notification-appliance power extender, each with its own standby battery. Record the contractor's NFPA 72 §10.6 secondary-power and battery calculation for each power supply — standby and alarm load, required-versus-installed amp-hours side by side, battery hardware and provenance — and render it on the NFPA 72 report. Fire Inspect Hub captures and presents the contractor's numbers; it does not perform the calculation.
Inspect where the alarm panels live
Fire alarm control panels aren't in the lobby. They're in the basement, the electrical room, the back of a stairwell — where you're working, not at a desk. Fire Inspect Hub runs on the phone or tablet you carry there: run the full NFPA 72 checklist, capture deficiencies and photos, and sign off on-site, and the finished report is ready when you walk out. Add it to your phone or tablet home screen and it opens like any other app.
Built for Independent Contractors
Fire Inspect Hub is designed for the 1-to-5 inspector shop. You don't need an IT department to get started, you don't need a training program to onboard your team, and you don't need an enterprise budget. Start for free, run an inspection, and see the difference in your first report.
