Walk the route in order so the location of an obstruction is unmistakable. Film the corridor, concern, final exit area and a later cleared view.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Start at the named corridor entrance and show the path toward the final exit in one steady view.
The example office corridor and route toward the exit are shown.
Show the object and the amount of route it occupies, with the final exit or fixed reference visible. Do not delay hazard control to finish filming.
A carton is visible intruding into the route near one wall.
Show the floor area, visible signage and approach to the exit. Do not claim door operation unless it is separately checked.
The example final exit approach and sign are visible.
Return to the same corridor viewpoint once the obstruction has been removed and record the time of the recheck.
The formerly obstructed corridor position appears clear in the follow-up clip.
Identify the building, floor and route. Record the full path, locate any visible obstruction, show the final exit area and repeat the same view after corrective action where safe. This is an evidence record of visible route condition at one time. It is not a fire risk assessment, structural fire-escape inspection, evacuation-plan review or declaration of compliance. Manage an obstruction immediately under site procedure.

Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.
