No. The flat rate — $1,375 for the first fire escape, $350 for each additional — includes the on-site work, the written report, and the certification document delivered to the property owner and (when required) the Salem County fire official. Only repairs, if any are actually needed, are quoted separately — and most Elsinboro fire escapes are certified without repairs.
