The Fire Prevention Division works to reduce risk through inspection, code compliance, and public education. Inspectors review new building plans, renovations, and operational permits to ensure safety standards are met before occupancy.
Routine inspections are conducted for:
- Commercial properties
- Assembly spaces
- Schools and childcare facilities
- Industrial and manufacturing operations
- Multifamily housing complexes
The Fire Marshal also investigates fire causes, supports post-incident analysis, and works directly with business owners to identify improvements in fire suppression systems, exits, alarms, and access.
Fire prevention efforts emphasize practical problem-solving and clear communication to help businesses maintain safe operations without unnecessary burden.
