For fire departments
Every inspection report in your jurisdiction, in one place you control.
Free for fire departments — today and always. No account fee, no seats to buy, nothing to procure.
Contractors who perform inspection, testing and maintenance in your jurisdiction can choose to show you their work: which buildings they service, when each was last inspected, and what they found. You read it directly, without asking anyone for a copy.
The sharpest problem first
A record you can actually maintain
A registry of the businesses, buildings and systems in your jurisdiction — and when something in it is wrong, you fix it yourself, in seconds.
A business changes its name. A tenant moves out. An address was entered wrong three years ago and every record since has carried it forward. In most systems that means an email to a vendor and a wait. Here it is an edit, made by you, and it takes effect immediately.
Correct it
You know better than the record does. Replace what is wrong and the correction is yours, attributed to you and dated.
Or dispute it
When you do not accept a reported date but have no replacement, say so. Your objection and the contractor’s statement stand side by side rather than one overwriting the other.
Nothing is erased
What a contractor originally reported survives every correction, with who reported it and when. If you later need to ask what they actually told you, the answer is still there.
At a glance
What is current, what is due, what is overdue
Open the portal and the jurisdiction is in front of you. Built so an inspector can find anything in two clicks.

A compliance clock per system
Each system carries its own interval and its own next-due date, computed in your timezone — not the contractor’s and not the browser’s.
Deficiency severity you can sort by
Findings arrive structured, with severity and code reference, so a critical finding does not read the same as a note.
The full communication history
Per business: what was sent, when, whether it was delivered, and whether anyone answered. No reconstructing a thread from an inbox.
A read-only record, on purpose
You can read and you can ask. You cannot close out a contractor’s deficiency or mark an inspection accepted — a record a regulator could alter would be worth less to everyone, including you.
Reports that arrive clean
Checked before they reach you
A report is validated on the contractor’s side before it is submitted — missing dates, results that contradict each other, findings left in limbo. The back-and-forth that would have landed on your desk happens at their desk instead.
Every submission is recorded: which report, from whom, on what date, and whether it was acknowledged. That ledger works the same whether a report reached you through Visilence, by upload, or by email — so the trail holds even for contractors who are not on the platform.
Ask, don’t search
Plain-language questions about your jurisdiction
Type the question you would have asked a person. The answer comes from your jurisdiction’s own records and nowhere else.
- “Which buildings on the east side are overdue for sprinkler service?”
- “Show me every system last inspected before 2024.”
- “What has 905 George Street had done in the last three years?”
It reads your registry and the records contractors have shared with you — nothing else, and nothing belonging to another jurisdiction.
Built for Wisconsin realities
Documentation that holds up when somebody asks
Fire inspection authority in Wisconsin sits at the municipal level, and the state’s two-percent fire dues program can fund inspection services — including work contracted out to qualified companies. Chiefs certify their compliance to the state each year, and audits happen.
What that requires is documentation you did not have to reconstruct. Every inspection, notice, correction and delegated job in Visilence is recorded as it happens, attributed to whoever did it, dated, and exportable in full — so the record that runs the program day to day is the same record you produce when someone asks to see it.
Nothing here files anything with the state on your behalf, and Visilence is not a system of record for your department. It is a complete, attributed history of what happened in your jurisdiction, that you can take with you.
What it costs
Nothing, ever, for the department.
Not a trial, not an introductory rate, not free until we have enough departments. It is how the model works, and here is the whole of it:
Contractors pay for the platform
They run their whole business on it — scheduling, inspections, invoicing. That subscription is what funds this.
Their submissions to you are free
A Visilence contractor submits to your department at no charge. Charging someone to do you a favour would be a strange way to get more reports.
Everyone else pays a small fee
A contractor who is not on Visilence can still submit to you, through a small per-report submission fee. That fee funds the portal.
No procurement, no contract, no lock-in. Your data exports completely, any time, and a department that stopped using Visilence tomorrow would leave with everything it had.
Talk to us
No demo script and no sales call. Tell us your department and what you are dealing with, and we will tell you plainly whether this helps.

Visilence shows only what participating contractors have chosen to share with your jurisdiction. It is not a complete record of contractors or buildings in your area, and absence from the portal means nothing about a business’s compliance or a building’s status. Nothing here is a compliance determination — that is your call, made under your code.
