Step 1.Review the requirements

Wet/Dry Chemical System Contractors and Gas Extinguishing System Contractors are registered through VisualVault.  All registered contractors are required to carry the insurance for a permit submittal. 

Wet/Dry Chemical System per­mits shall only be issued to currently licensed Wet/Dry Chemical System Contrac­tors, and Gas Extinguishing System permits shall only be issued to currently licensed Gas Extinguishing System Contractors. 

Applicable codes can be found on the City of Lincoln’s website. By completing the permitting process, it is agreed that all rules, regulations, and ordinances of the City of Lincoln, now in effect, will be complied with, and that the installation will be made in accordance with all applicable fire system regulations and the appropriate NFPA standards.
