If a business does not have proper fire protection, it can lead to several negative consequences. First and foremost, it increases the risk of a fire breaking out and causing damage to the business and potentially injuring or killing employees and customers. This can lead to costly damage and business interruptions, and in severe cases, the business may not be able to recover and may have to close permanently. In addition to this, lack of proper fire protection can also lead to serious legal issues, such as lawsuits and fines, as well as the potential for criminal charges if the lack of fire protection results in injury or death. Finally, many insurance companies will not cover damages from fires if proper fire protection was not in place. This means that the business owner will have to bear the full cost of any damage or losses resulting from a fire.
