Inspection Reports Online (IROL)

The City of Charlottesville Fire Department has partnered with www.InspectionReportsOnline.net, a web-based reporting system, to make it easier for inspection companies to submit annual safety reports.

This cooperation will streamline the process of turning in the Fire and Life Safety System Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance (ITM) reports required by the fire code, which mandates each company to submit inspection reports to the local fire department.  

Certified contractors hired by businesses come in every year to inspect specific fire suppression systems and make sure they are functioning without any defects. Some of these systems require bi-annual and, in some cases, quarterly inspections. Once they’ve completed their report, contractors can submit those documents to IROL. On behalf of CFD, IROL representatives will work with the contractor and business owner to ensure that any needed repairs will be completed promptly.  

Why IROL?

IROL’s proven process provides benefits for the entire community: 

• Ensures Fire and Life Safety Systems are operational and functioning in case of an emergency
• Increases frequency of repairs through deficiency remediation 
• Assists in ensuring licensed service providers are performing quality ITM within your building(s)
• Increases overall compliance
• Overall builds safer environments for our firefighters and the people who live, work, and play in our community
