The Fire No Objection Certificate also known as a “Fire NOC” is a legal document issued by the fire dept of a concerned area or any other departments which are authorized by law the fire safety depending on the place/Area of registration. Fire NOC has to review every person’s operational site and regulate them to conform to requirements as per the latest fire standards set out by the respective fire departments to ensure the safety of occupants in the event of a fire accident. For example: Exits, fire sprinkler, fire bells, fire notices and instructions, different types of fire extinguishers based on the type of working premises, fire hoses, etc are mandatory to ensure security to the tenants to escape from the building and avoid occurrences of fire incidents at all.
Therefore, Fire NOC is not just a document that assures fire safety but also an assurance given by the firm to its employees that they have a safer working environment which is a positive signal about companies’ higher standards. In this way, it is very easy to say that if a Fire NOC is not obtained then it means that every commercial establishment is compromising the safety of their employees and cannot work for their optimum level of efficiency.
Fire Safety Certificate [Sample]
A Fire NOC is a certificate issued by the Indian Fire Department which states that the presented property or building with the same Fire NOC is conforming to all the fire safety regulation and standard tabulated in the current guideline of the Fire Department. This is important as by holding the certificate, the building would have recommendable preventive and safety measures in case of a fire outbreak and that would protect the residents, employees or any other occupant who may be present in the building at that time. This includes physical examination by officials of the fire department who check for varied factors including fire fighting devices like fire extinguishers, fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fire exits, and other essential safety features. Unlike most of the NOC, the Fire NOC is not a one-time need, instead, a Fire NOC needs to be renewed regularly within a mentioned time frame to maintain its relevance to the current safety compliance. This helps in making sure that the measures have not stopped being effective and deems to be providing adequate protection to the occupants in the building – on a continuous basis.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
