While talking about fire protection, it is quite important to note that the safety and security are in the hand of the property owner, be it his own residence or his business. The construction of the building should be done in accordance with the building code and it is the responsibility of building controllers to check on compliance, i.e. whether it is in accordance with the building code or not. On completion of the building construction, the maintenance of the building should be done in accordance with the current fire code as enforced by fire prevention officers from local fire department.

As already discussed, awareness among building owners and administrators is most important. They should have thorough understanding of the building plan and construction and fire codes.
The fire protection systems are successful only when there is proper planning and timely implementation and adequate training and knowledge to prevent serious disaster. Thus, all building owners should be aware of their duties for the maintenance of essential fire safety measures in their buildings.
The essential fire safety measures are needed to be maintained at specific intervals throughout the year, usually conducted by a contractor. Each contractor should give the certification of the essential fire safety measures, listing the specific measure/s they have serviced. Once you have obtained this, gathered all this together, and then keep these records in the form of an Annual Fire Safety Statement.
