When the fire department gives the "all clear" after the fire does that mean the building is safe to live in or just safe to enter? Is the fire departments all clear enough proof to give a tenant to say that they can still live on the property?

Asked by Jess Williams about 7 years ago

No. All clear means that all hazards are removed, or occupants are out or all units are clear and returning to service. It does not meam safe to enter.
