About
About ERRCSCheck
ERRCSCheck explains emergency responder radio coverage rules in plain language for the people who have to comply with them.
Who we are
ERRCSCheck is run by WhenLeads, a division of DV8 WEB LLC, 1335 Old Dixie Hwy Ste 27, Lake Park, FL 33403. We are not a fire department, a government agency, a standards body, an engineering firm or an installer. We do not design, sell, install or test radio systems.
Why this exists
Building owners, condo boards and property managers are being told to add or test in-building radio systems, often with a deadline attached. The rules sit in statutes, fire codes and local fire marshal guidelines that are hard to find and harder to read. We collect them, cite them and explain them in plain words, with the date we last checked each one.
How we research
We read the primary document for every rule we publish and record its address and the date we checked it. When two sources disagree, we say so. When a jurisdiction has not published something, the page says "Not published; confirm with the fire marshal" instead of guessing. The full process is on our methodology page and every document we rely on is listed on sources.
Guidance, not engineering advice
The building checker and the requirement pages tell you what the published rules appear to say for a building like yours. They do not replace a radio coverage test, an engineer or your fire marshal (AHJ), who makes the final call. See the disclaimer.
How the site makes money
Owners never pay. Installers (two-way radio, fire alarm and DAS firms) pay WhenLeads for two things: alerts about buildings in their counties built from public records, and quote requests from owners who ask to be contacted. When you request quotes, the form tells you plainly that your request goes to up to 3 vetted installers who serve your area. No installer can pay to change what a page says or to be recommended. Details are in how we make money.
Corrections
If a rule on this site is out of date or wrong, tell us through the contact form and choose "A rule or page that is wrong or out of date". Include the page address. We check it against the source and log the fix in the changelog.
