Fire Inspections/Prevention

The Inspection department is located upstairs in the rear of the fire station.  

Fire Inspectors prevent fire through fire inspections and fire code enforcement activities. Emphasis is given to education during the code enforcement process so that the owner or manager is made aware of the necessity for fire prevention measures. Also, enforcement of the fire code allows for identification of unsafe property such as open, vacant structures which are a danger to the community and firefighters.
