Public School Inspections

The HCFMO Safe School Inspection Program is being preformed in three steps:

Step 1 is a general fire inspection to identify and prioritize potential fire hazards.

  • HCFMO fire inspectors will use a condensed checklist for this inspection. 
  • Detailed Guidelines explain each item in the checklist.
  • After each inspection, inspection results are posted to this site.
  • HCFMO code interpretations are posted regularly to explain code requirements.

Step 2 is a detailed, in-depth inspection to correct deficiencies.

  • Step 2 will begin after all public schools in the unincorporated area of Harris County have received an initial inspection
  • Step 2 inspections will be prioritized by the results from the Step 1 inspections.  

 Step 3 is regularly scheduled inspections of all schools.

  • School fire inspections will continue to be conducted anually.
  • Results of regularly scheduled inspections will also be posted to this site.
