Fire Escape Certification in Boston, MA
Massachusetts requires property owners to hold a current fire escape compliance certificate for every building with external egress systems. This document must be filed with your city or town building department and kept on-premises. Boston Fire Escape manages the entire certification process — from initial inspection to final city submission — so you never have to navigate the bureaucracy alone.
