An example is: Jane Doe, Administrator AAA Child Care ID # 12345678 Insert TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE DOCUMENTED VIOLATION (S): Fire Inspections - The primary reason for fire inspections is to keep everyone in the facility safe from potential fire hazards. Regular inspection, testing, and maintenance make the work environment safer, so your employees are protected. Your last fire inspection was completed on September 22, 2022. You indicated you were unaware the fire inspection was to be submitted within one week of the inspection. The fire inspection was completed on September 21, 2023. Adding a reminder to your NCPK Licensing binder to submit the fire inspection within one week is a great way to ensure a copy is received by the Division.
