Importance of Fire Safety
Fire safety inspections are a necessary part of the licensing process. It is a means of assuring that the building used for a child care center is in compliance with essential fire safety requirements for licensure.
Procedures for Requesting Fire Safety Plan Reviews
(new construction, additions, remodeling)
Plan reviews will be provided by the Bureau of Fire Services, Child Care Section, at no cost to the applicant or licensee. Information on plan submittals and the application form can be obtained at
www.michigan.gov/bfs
, then click on "forms and publications" on the left side of the screen, then look for "child care centers, institutions and camps-submitting plans" and "child care centers, institutions and camps-application". Plans do not require the seal of a registered architect or engineer unless the cost of the project, including labor and materials, exceeds $15,000. If necessary, the Child Care Section can be contacted at 517-335-3529.
Procedures for Requesting Fire Safety Inspections (conversions, consultations)
Fire safety inspections for conversions, consultations and, if required, existing licensed child care centers are to be obtained by the applicant or licensee from one of the individuals on the below "Approved Independent Qualified Fire Inspectors" list.
However, if the proposed or licensed child care center is located within a city that has signed an agreement with the state to conduct fire safety inspections for licensure, within their jurisdiction only, one of their listed qualified fire inspectors may be contacted. These departments are identified below on a separate "Local Fire Prevention Authority" list.
Licensees are to arrange or contract with a qualified fire safety inspector, and, are responsible for any costs of obtaining the inspection. The Department of Human Services will not accept a fire safety inspection report from any other authority, individual or organization that is not on the current applicable list.
If you have further questions regarding this program, please contact the Bureau of Fire Safety.
Below is the list of independent qualified fire inspectors approved by the Bureau of Fire Services to conduct fire safety inspections for conversions, consultations and, if required, existing licensed child care centers.
