Fire Prevention – Fire & Life Safety Inspection & Enforcement

The program provides a comprehensive fire prevention inspection service and enforcement for compliance with the Uniform Fire Code in new construction, tenant improvements and annual permit occupancies. It ensures compliance with federal, state, and local codes in mitigation of fire and life safety conditions. Bureau personnel investigate and determine fire cause and origin within the community. It initiates preemptive counseling for first time offender juveniles and provides a mechanism to refer repeat/chronic offenders to the appropriate agencies. The program provides shift Investigators for initial determination of fire cause and origin, collection of evidence, and report data for future reference.
