 A fire tender inspection is a regular check of a fire tender's condition to ensure it is in good working order. A fire tender inspection checklist typically covers the following areas of the vehicle:

Transmission system: Transmission system

Wheels: Wheels

Rear axle: Rear axle

Springs: Springs

Brakes: Brakes

Steering system: Steering system

The inspection is usually carried out on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. Officers check the inspection and include any comments in the report. 

A fire inspection is also a building inspection carried out by the fire department to assess fire hazards and how well they are managed. The inspection determines if the building meets all fire safety standards and codes. 

Here are some fire tender safety codes and standards:

Here are some fire safety codes for buildings:

The main street on which the building is located should be at least 12 meters wide 

The road should not end in a dead end 

The open spaces around the building should not be used for parking 

The main entrance should have adequate passageway and clearances for fire fighting vehicles to enter 

The width of the entrance should be at least 4.5 meters 

Fire escapes should be directly connected to the ground 

Fire escapes should be constructed of non-combustible materials 

Fire escape stairs should have a straight flight, with treads of 25 cm and risers not more than 19 cm 

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standard body of India that develops codes and standards for fire safety.
