BESS fire safety and compliance consulting for California's new regulatory era.
NFPA 855 reaches every battery energy storage project in California through the state Fire Code. SB 283 adds a mandatory fire authority consultation for locally permitted projects at 10 MWh and above filing on or after January 1, 2026. We help developers clear both before they become scheduling crises.
Built for three audiences.
BESS Developers
SB 283 pre-application fire authority consultation, NFPA 855 HMA independent review, and AHJ liaison, so fire authority iteration is handled outside your internal team.
Authorities Having Jurisdiction
Our work is aimed at submittals that arrive complete and consultations that run on documented findings. The intent is a cleaner record for the reviewer on every project, and a defined pre-application and post-installation path where SB 283 applies.
We are retained by the project: the developer, EPC, or owner. Our role is to review the submittal against the applicable code pathway and to serve as liaison with the fire authority through its review.
