Life safety first
A fire escape is an emergency exit. If it fails under load, tenants, residents, and first responders lose a critical way out.
Boston Fire Escape Services
Certification, Inspection, Repairs & Fabrication
One coordinated path to a certified, functional fire escape—aligned with Massachusetts expectations and City of Boston process.
Start with an InspectionWhat we sell
A certified, functional fire escape is a life-safety system.
Boston Fire Escapes sells safety and code-aligned exterior egress—not decorative ironwork. Inspection, repair, and certification exist so your fire escape can perform in an emergency and satisfy Massachusetts and City of Boston requirements.
If the structure is unsafe, it cannot honestly be treated as certified. If it is certified on paper but cannot carry people in an emergency, it has failed its purpose. We connect field condition, repair when required, and documentation under the applicable code path.

Everything your building needs for exterior egress.
Each service connects to the same goal: a fire escape that is safe to use and ready for honest certification documentation.
Certification

Certification path
Inspection
Professional field inspection focused on life safety: treads, landings, rails, anchors, corrosion, and whether the fire escape can actually perform in an emergency.
Schedule inspection
Repairs
Structural repair so deteriorated steel becomes functional again—then verification and certification support when the system is ready.
Repair for safety
Fabrication
Replacement components and exterior egress systems fabricated and installed for real emergency use—not cosmetic ironwork.

Safety decision
After Your Inspection
Certification is earned by condition—not assumed. The goal is a fire escape that is both documented and able to protect people.
Fire Escape Is Acceptable
When the system is structurally sound and functional, inspection leads to report, certification documentation, and the next five-year cycle under the applicable Boston process.
Repairs Are Required
If deficiencies put safety or code compliance at risk, we document findings, scope repairs, restore function, verify the work, then support certification documentation.
