The Oceanside Fire Department has instituted a new process for service providers who inspect and test fire protection systems. Effective 04/01/2022, all compliant and non-compliant fire protection system test reports are required to be electronically submitted to the Oceanside Fire Department online via The Compliance Engine at thecomplianceengine.com. Read the Letter to Service Providers
The Oceanside Fire Department is dedicated to 100% compliance with the California Fire Code. This web-based service will aggregate, track and streamline the collection of compliance data of our jurisdiction’s systems. Property owners will receive timely proactive notifications of their testing requirements and the Oceanside Fire Department will gain the ability to better mitigate the risk in our community by improving public safety to our citizens.
All service providers who inspect or test fire protection systems within the city of Oceanside are required to register and submit all inspection, test and maintenance (ITM) reports via The Compliance Engine. All reports must be submitted in accordance with the testing schedule and requirements outlined in the California Fire Code. All contractors performing work within Oceanside city limits must possess a valid Oceanside City business license as well as any required California contractor licenses (i.e., C-16).
This proven process requires the service provider to pay a nominal filing fee at the time of report submittal; repair reports do not incur a submittal fee. There is no fee to register your company with The Compliance Engine. Once registered, pricing is viewable under AHJ icon. If you are a licensed fire protection system contractor and are not currently registered with Brycer, please register at thecomplianceengine.com.
We look forward to partnering with you to better protect and serve our community. We are confident this will benefit us all.
