Fire Inspection – Scam

Hi All,

Im wondering if anyone else has come across this.

Our building has experienced something very suspicous 2 weeks prior to our annual fire inspection.

2 weeks prior to the inspection, all our fire extinguishers had disappeared. Another owner in the building told me that someone in fire jumpsuit/uniform took the extinguishers and told him it needed to be inspected and refilled……They never came back.

When the time came for inspection, the inspectors pointed out that there were no extinguishers and that both fire hoses in the underground parking area were a couple of metres short of regulation (we’ve never had this issue before).
Upon closer inspection by the building manager, it seems as though the hoses were cut with the nozzle placed back on.

The inspectors have given us a quote to replace all the items and demand it be done in order for the building to be certified.

Could this be just mere coincidence? Has anyone else come across anything similar?
