Fire code calculators, free, from the people who build fire prevention software.

Occupant load, egress, required fire flow, extinguisher placement, hydrant flow and the records request clock: each one runs the same rule FireInspection360 runs for its departments, cites the section behind the answer, and needs no account.

No registration needed for the demo site.

Why they are free

Every calculator here is a rule the platform already runs.

FireInspection360 is fire prevention software: permits, inspections, plan review, investigations, ITM reports, preplans and hydrants for fire departments. Each module carries code rules a department applies every day, and the rules are worth more where inspectors, plans examiners, contractors and building owners can all read the same answer. So the occupant load table, the egress consequences, the Appendix B fire flow calculation and the hydrant hydraulics are published here as they run inside the product, with the section behind every line and the reminder on every page that a calculation is an aid and the fire code official makes the determination.
