About us

Built by inspectors, for inspectors.

FireInspection360 was founded in 2018 by fire inspectors who knew firsthand that fire safety deserved better tools. We still build it the same way: from the field, with the departments that use it.

Our story

Fire safety deserves better tools.

FireInspection360 was founded on a simple but powerful idea: fire safety deserves better tools. In 2018, a team of dedicated fire inspectors came together to solve a problem they knew firsthand. There was no modern, reliable, user-friendly platform to help fire departments manage permits, inspections and compliance workflows. Too often, critical documents were scattered across email inboxes and shared drives, or misplaced entirely, which meant delays, lost accountability and frustration for inspectors and the communities they serve.

We built FireInspection360 to change that. The platform is designed with one goal in mind: supporting fire departments in their mission to keep communities safe. By combining field experience with extensive research into safety and compliance, we created a system that is intuitive, adaptable and rooted in the realities of day-to-day fire prevention work.

Since then we have partnered with fire departments, fire marshals and safety organizations of every size to deliver FI360, a high-quality, customizable platform that streamlines permits, inspections, ITM reports and workflows. Close collaboration with the people who use it keeps every feature purposeful, effective and built to solve a real problem.

Brent Meisenheimer, founder of FireInspection360
Leadership with purpose

Our founder's story.

At the heart of FireInspection360 is our founder, Brent Meisenheimer, a Captain in one of the nation's largest fire departments. With over 30 years of experience in plan review and fire investigations, Brent has lived the challenges that come with managing complex safety requirements.

While performing plan reviews, Brent realized that most fire departments lacked a dedicated system for permit management. Departments were left patching together shared folders, spreadsheets and email, methods that led to lost documents, no visibility and limited accountability. That was not good enough for inspectors, and it certainly was not good enough for the communities depending on them.

So Brent set out to build something better. With a master's degree in Fire and Emergency Management Administration from Oklahoma State University, he created FireInspection360: a platform built by a user, for the users.

Brent's commitment to fire safety goes beyond software. Knowing that not every department has the budget for advanced tools, he makes sure FireInspection360 sponsors several free applications, including a fire watch log and a hydrant maintenance utility. These resources help even the smallest departments improve community safety without barriers.
