Compliance review is critical, 
and time-consuming.

Even with digital reporting, reviewing inspection reports for accuracy, completeness, and code alignment can place a heavy burden on fire prevention teams. Without dedicated review support, departments often struggle with:

 

Vector (19)

High report volume

Inspection reports pile up faster than staff can review them, delaying enforcement and remediation.

Vector (20)

Inconsistent quality

Incomplete, inaccurate, or non-standardized reports slow approvals and create more work.

Vector (21)

Increased liability

Missed deficiencies and poor documentation increase exposure to appeals, disputes, and public safety risk.

Vector (22)

Limited staff capacity

When internal teams are stretched thin, critical issues are easier to miss and harder to catch in time.

Hear why AHJs like partnering with 
LIV for compliance review.

"I have nothing but good to say about the professional manner in which Brad and Cole worked with us to answer any and all questions. I would wish all people we have entered in to contracts related to our fire department were this knowledgeable and patient...We have been very happy with the program, and the contractors have thanked us for switching to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
Marshal Gerald Strebel

Sandy City Fire Department

“We have used other programs and they have not come close to what LIV provides from a customer service point of view. I personally like that when I have an issue although very rare their customer service is impeccable. If you are looking for a compliance program that is top notch and willing to listen to your needs, I would highly recommend LIV to any department that is interested in a very valuable and very user-friendly compliance program.”
Marshal Don Buckley

Draper Fire Department

"The program is fantastic! It has helped me identify issues that I would not have noticed had they not been reported as deficient by the contractors. I am a one-person operation in my department and using LIV is like having a second person assisting me."
Marshal Robert Pillman

Merrillville Fire Department
