The City of Portland has hundreds of fire escapes that are attached the
exterior of older buildings. Many of these fire escapes have been
rusting away over the years and now may be unsafe for firefighters to
use during an emergency. The City of Portland has established
procedures for the testing, repair, and certification of the fire
escapes.
Hayden Consulting Engineers has determined testing and certification
plans that have been accepted by, and satisfy the requirements of, the
Portland Fire and Rescue. Our plans conform to the Administrative Rule
ARB-FIR-2.08.
Hayden Consulting Engineers understands that time is of the essence and
that fines from the Portland Fire and Rescue could be assessed if the
fire escape certification is not completed in a timely fashion. We are
able to quickly make the structural assessment so that the testing and
repairs can be done.
With Hayden Consulting Engineers’ services, you will receive
-
Initial structural assessment
-
Repair recommendations prior to testing (if required)
-
Report outlining the testing procedures
-
Repair recommendations during/after testing (if required)
-
Affidavit certifying the fire escapes meet the Portland Fire and
Rescue requirements.
