What is a Fire Safety Audit in Bangalore?

Bangalore (Bengaluru), India's Silicon Valley and a thriving industrial powerhouse, is home to hundreds of IT parks, data centres, manufacturing clusters, and high-rise commercial complexes. A fire safety audit in Bangalore involves a systematic examination of a building's fire protection systems — including detection, suppression, alarm, and evacuation systems — to ensure compliance with the National Building Code (NBC) 2016, the Karnataka Fire Force Act, 1964, and BBMP fire safety regulations.
