Under the NJ Uniform Fire Code, fire escapes serving as a required means of egress must be inspected on a recurring cycle — most Warren 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 Phillipsburg, New Jersey fire official before scheduling.
On-site load testing for a typical Phillipsburg, New Jersey fire escape takes 2 to 4 hours, depending on the number of landings and access conditions. Oyster Fire Escape Inspections schedules the work to minimize disruption to tenants and Warren County building operations.

Repairs are not part of the certification price: where the AHJ requires a physical load test, or repairs are needed, that scope is quoted in writing before anything is scheduled.
