A fire certificate, required by law for hotels, boarding houses, factories, offices, shops, and railway premises, is a document that ensures safety measures are in place to prevent and respond to fires. To obtain this certificate, one must apply to a fire officer who inspects the building and provides a list of necessary requirements, such as fire escape doors and stairways. Once these requirements are met, the fire officer issues the certificate, allowing for prior knowledge of the building's occupancy and any hazardous materials present. This document plays a crucial role in emergency situations and ensures the safety of all individuals within the building.
