Fire Safety Administrator (FSA)

Fire Safety Administrator (FSA)

Certification Course

Per Denver Fire Code, a Fire Safety Administrator (FSA) class is now mandatory. High-rise buildings must have a licensed FSA by December 31, 2024. Starting January 2026, buildings with 500 occupants or 100 people above or below the exit discharge floor must have an FSA and an all-hazard Emergency Action Plan. 

Program Overview

The Fire Safety Administrator (FSA) Certification Course is the must-have training for owners, managers, and staff of high-rise multifamily buildings in Denver. Ensure the safety of your residents, protect your property, and meet regulatory requirements with this comprehensive, industry-focused program. 

Each building must have at least one certified FSA; two are recommended. An FSA may oversee up to three buildings within the same company if they are within a 30-minute drive and approved by the fire code official.

AAMD recommendation: The certification is per individual, not per building, so the Apartment Association of Metro Denver recommends certifying the Community Manager AND the Maintenance Supervisor. A third on site team member is also recommended depending on property size and to help with any unforeseen turnover.
