Questions about fire protection
What is a red tag?
A red tag is a notice from the fire marshal that a building or a fire protection system doesn’t meet code. Depending on the problem, it can stop a business from opening, or a building from being occupied, until it’s corrected.
How quickly can you help?
Call as soon as you get the notice. How long it takes depends on what the fire marshal needs, and we’ll give you a timeline once we’ve seen the paperwork.
Which fire marshal's offices do you work with?
We prepare plans and documents for the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office and for fire officials in the cities we serve.
