How often shall live fire training structures be evaluated by the AHJ or building owner?

Live fire training structures must be evaluated by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) or building owner every year to ensure they meet current safety standards and operational effectiveness. This annual evaluation is critical for maintaining the integrity of the structures used during live fire training exercises, as these structures are subject to wear and tear due to the intense conditions caused by fire training. Regular assessments also help identify any necessary repairs, modifications, or updates to enhance safety measures, ensuring that all training conducted within these structures remains effective and safe for both instructors and students.

This requirement reflects best practices in safety management and risk prevention, ensuring compliance with local codes and national standards related to fire training facilities.
