In what respect?  And do you mean that the Fire Department came by and did an inspection and then asked you to sign off on it?  You would have to be very specific here with the facts and let me know what you are really afraid of and if you are being held responsible for something that occurred after you signed it.  Generally speaking, if you are not authorized to sign things don't do it and if you handed off the report to your manager document that by an email.  Good luck.
