Notifying the Fire Marshal In Alexandria, VA
In Alexandria, VA, you must report right away if a fire safety system, such as sprinklers or fire alarms, is not working.
To stay in compliance, call the Alexandria Fire Department’s non-emergency line at 703-746-4444 as soon as you discover the issue. Not reporting a problem can lead to fines, higher liability, and put your property at greater risk.
The fire marshal reserves the right to require more staff if they see fit. The most common reason for increased staff requirements are if a building is very large or services a sensitive population. Medical facilities and senior living facilities are examples of locations that often require additional staff.
• Fire watch personnel must be trained to do fire watch.
• Fire watch personnel cannot fulfill any other duties other than fire watch while they are on fire watch duty.
• Fire watch must have a cell phone to dial 911.
• Fire watch must document patrols on fire patrol logs.
• Patrols should be completed a minimum of once per hour.
• Properties can use their own internal staff for fire watch. However, in such cases, the property management company assumes responsibility for whatever the fire watch does or does not do.
