Fire Prevention

The most effective way to prevent loss of life and property from fire is through prevention efforts. The Fire Prevention Team, under the direction of the Fire Marshal, supports this goal by working in the community to enforce adopted codes, educate about fire hazards, and assist businesses and residents to implement effective fire safety plans.

Fire Prevention oversees the following key areas: 

• Fire Safety Operational Permits and Fire Use Permits
• Fire Inspections
• Fire Investigations 
• Fire Safety and Risk Reduction Education
