The Fire No Objection Certificate also known as a “Fire NOC” is a critical legal document issued by the local fire department or an authorized fire safety authority varying upon your region/ area of registration. A Fire NOC provides complete assurance to whosoever is present within the working premises in regards to compliance with the latest fire safety standards issued by fire departments which are vital for safety of the occupants in a critical situation of a fire outbreak. For example: fire exits, fire sprinkler systems, smoke alarms, fire safety signs, different types of fire extinguishers (water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, wet chemical) depending upon the type of workplace, nearby fire hose, etc. Such equipment is mandatory in order to help the occupants vacate the premises safely and prevent the likelihood of any fire incidents in the first place.
A Fire NOC is not only limited to a mere certification of fire safety but also a keen promise to its employees to keep them in a safer work environment which indicates strong principles of a company. Therefore, it is a breeze to say that registering a Fire NOC is almost an obligation for any workplace to provide their employees a risk free work experience and not compromise over their productivity.
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 .
