Inspections for Coachella buildings

The Riverside County Fire Department handles fire prevention in Coachella under contract with the city, and your records need to follow NFPA 25. We hold the dates and schedule ahead:

• Quarterly inspection of gauges, valves, alarm devices and the fire department connection.
• Annual inspection with main drain and flow tests, written up for your files.
• Five-year certification documented to the State Fire Marshal requirements in CCR Title 19.
• Fire pump testing for buildings with a pump.

What we see most in Coachella

Schools and churches are often on a tight calendar, and the annual test has to fit between classes, services and events. At plazas, a string of tenants each change their space, so heads end up behind new ceilings, walls or shelving. Warehouses and agricultural buildings stack product higher over time, closing the clearance the heads need to spray.

Repairs and tenant improvements

Deficiencies are quoted in writing and fixed by the same crew. When a plaza suite or classroom is reconfigured, we relocate and add heads to match.

Common questions

Can you test a school’s system when students are not there?

Yes. We schedule around the school calendar, including breaks, so the alarm during the flow test does not interrupt classes.

How much space do sprinkler heads need above storage?

It depends on the system and the goods. We check clearance at every annual inspection and flag any area where storage is too close.
