A dedicated application for the inspections your team runs.
Fire Department Inspections gives AHJs a purpose-built, intuitive workspace for annual and scheduled inspections — fully integrated with LIV's Third-Party Inspections for a single, unified view of compliance.
When your own inspections live in a separate system, compliance has a blind spot.
Most fire departments track their own inspections in spreadsheets, paper files, or systems that don't connect to their third-party compliance data. That means:
Disconnected compliance data
Your department's inspections and your third-party contractor reports live in different places — making it harder to see the full picture for any property in your jurisdiction.
Manual re-inspection tracking
When an inspection comes back with deficiencies, follow-up depends on memory, spreadsheets, or manual reminders — and things slip through.
No billing workflow
Departments that charge for inspections or re-inspections manage invoicing outside the platform — a separate vendor, a separate process, a separate headache.
Everything your inspectors need, in one dedicated workspace.
Fire Department Inspections brings your department's own inspections onto the same platform 350+ AHJs already trust for third-party compliance —
with dedicated tools designed for how your team actually works.
Dedicated workspace and navigation
Fire department inspections have their own intuitive home within the LIV platform — separate from third-party inspection workflows. Inspectors and supervisors work in a streamlined interface designed specifically for the inspections they conduct directly, with AHJ-specific inspection types, customizable forms, and granular violation tracking.
Automated re-inspection workflows
Manage third-party and internal inspections in one platform with standardized report submission, validation, and review workflows.
Receive, review, and approve ITM reports and internal inspection records digitally. Reduce rework, speed up approvals, schedule follow-ups, and ensure inspection data is complete, accurate, and enforceable.
Workload management and inspector enablement
Prioritized inspection and re-inspection queues, premises- and zone-based assignment, and automated reminders help departments manage caseloads efficiently. A responsive mobile experience supports inspectors in the field — so they always know where to go next.
Integrated invoicing and payments
Configurable, tiered fee schedules with automated invoicing and payment processing give departments that bill for inspections a fully supported, in-platform billing workflow. Inspection fees and re-inspection fees are independent — departments can use either, both, or neither. LIV is merchant of record: no separate vendor, no ERP project.
Compliance management capabilities
Comprehensive capabilities allow AHJs to centralize internal and third-party inspection and reporting tools under one platform.
Unified premises management
One centralized database for every property, system, and inspection history — third-party and fire department — in your jurisdiction.
Connected deficiency tracking
Deficiency history from both inspection types flows into the same record, so nothing is tracked in isolation.
No separate logins or reconciliation
Supervisors see everything in one place, without switching systems or manually comparing data.
Platform integration
LIV's API-first architecture lets fire department and third-party inspection data flow into the RMS and GovTech platforms your department already relies on.
Integrated with Third-Party Inspections
Fire Department Inspections shares a single premises and compliance database with LIV's Third-Party Inspections application — AHJs get a true system of record for every inspection an AHJ manages, regardless of who conducts it.

What our customers say about LIV Fire Department Inspections
"We manage a high volume of inspections across our jurisdiction, and LIV has already provided us with tools that stand out in the industry. These new fire department inspection capabilities take that even further — providing dedicated workflows, greater visibility, and giving our inspectors and operations crews the tools and information they need in one place. This has significantly supported our efforts to provide consistent, effective service across the 15 communities we serve."
Fire Marshal Wade Watkins
Unified Fire Authority
"LIV has greatly improved the efficiency of our inspection data by allowing us to view contractor reports and conduct our annual inspections in the same program. We spend less than an hour a day reviewing and approving contractor reports, and having inspections, contractor reports, billing, and fire watch monitoring in one system has significantly reduced our contractor deficiency reports."
Fire Marshal Keith Williams
Surfside Beach 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."
