Running a business? You wouldn’t leave your doors unlocked at night—so why take risks with fire safety? A Fire License (Fire NOC) is more than just a formality—it’s your license to ensure your premises are fire-safe, compliant, and disaster-ready.

What is a Fire License?

A Fire License is an official permit issued by the state fire department to certify that your building meets the required fire safety standards.

If your business involves crowds, machinery, storage, or potential fire hazards, you probably need one—whether you’re running a hotel, factory, hospital, or even a shopping mall.

No Fire License? You could face penalties, legal trouble, or worse—a real fire emergency with no safeguards. Why risk it?

🏢 Who Needs a Fire License?

If your business operates inside a building, chances are you need a Fire License! Here’s a quick checklist:

✔ Hotels & Restaurants – Because fire and food don’t mix well.
✔ Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities – Patients need care, not fire scares.
✔ Malls, Shops & Offices – A fire-safe workspace keeps both customers and profits safe.
✔ Factories & Warehouses – More storage = more fire risks. Be prepared!
✔ Schools & Colleges – Education, not evacuation, should be the priority.
✔ Residential Buildings (3+ Floors) – Your home should be safe, not a ticking time bomb.

If your business falls into one of these categories, getting a Fire License isn’t optional—it’s essential.

What You Need to Get a Fire License?

Think of this as your fire safety checklist before applying:

✔ Building Plan Approval – Submitted to the fire department.
✔ Fire Safety Equipment Installed – Extinguishers, alarms, sprinklers—you name it!
✔ Emergency Exits Clearly Marked – No one likes getting lost in an emergency.
✔ Regular Fire Drills & Safety Audits – Because practice makes perfect.
✔ License Renewal on Time – Avoid penalties and last-minute chaos.
