Fire Prevention
The Fire Prevention Division is responsible for maintaining a reasonable level of protection of life and property from the hazards created by fire, explosion, and hazardous materials. Conducting field inspections at businesses, apartment buildings, schools, and public assemblies as well as conducting plan reviews and inspections of new construction, tenant improvements, and automatic fire protection systems accomplish this. The Fire Prevention Division also issues business regulatory permits designed to reduce hazardous conditions and conducts fire cause of origin investigations to determine if a fire was accidental or arson.
