Under the NJ Uniform Fire Code, fire escapes serving as a required means of egress must be inspected on a recurring cycle — most Somerset County jurisdictions enforce a 5-year cycle for periodic load testing, with annual visual inspections in some municipalities. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections confirms the specific requirement with the Watchung, New Jersey fire official before scheduling.
