Who asks › Fire authorities
For fire marshals, inspectors and code enforcement
You cited the kitchen. Here’s something to leave with them.
A citation for a missing service record tells the operator what’s wrong. It doesn’t tell them what the whole record set looks like, or give them a way to find out where they stand before your next visit.
The card does. The operator scans it, answers ten questions about what they could produce today, and gets a plain list: what’s ready, what they’d have to find, what isn’t on file. Fire first, in your department’s terms.

Which of these service records could you produce right now?
Your fire authority asks for the signed service report behind each tag, not the tag itself.

Tagged to your department so the operator’s county is already set. Free. No sales language on the card. Nothing on it refers the operator to anyone.
The record set your department enforces
Written in the authority’s own terms, from primary sources. If anything here is out of date for your department, tell us and it is corrected the same week.

Continuing education for authorities having jurisdiction
Reading kitchen exhaust records the way a court will
What a compliant cleaning report contains, what an inaccessible-area note means, how frequency is set by cooking type, and how the records read in litigation. Taught by an IKECA Certified Exhaust Cleaning Specialist retained as an NFPA 96 expert witness. Credit availability depends on your state’s approving body — ask and we’ll tell you where it stands.
What this is and isn’t
EvidLY identifies which records exist and their dates. It does not inspect, does not certify, and does not stand in for your authority. Nothing on the card or the Risk Assessment refers an operator to Cleaning Pros Plus or to any vendor. The card is a public-education piece with your department’s name on it, and it stays that way.
Leave them something better than a citation.
The card is free, tagged to your department, and ready within a business day of asking.
