NFPA 1400/1402 Burn Building Inspections

In 2026, the consolidated NFPA 1400 (which includes NFPA 1402) standards state your training facility needs to be “evaluated and documented by a licensed professional engineer with live fire training structure experience and expertise.” Our engineers can inspect and document findings for your WHP-bought structure as well as other metal, concrete, CMU, and container structures. NFPA guidelines for firefighting training require inspection every 5 years for class A buildings and every 10 years for class B buildings.
