Office of the Fire Marshal

The Office of the Fire Marshal Division is responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of the Standard Fire Prevention Code, NFPA Life Safety Code, National Fire Codes, and all state and local ordinances related to fire protection and life safety. The Captain of the Fire Marshal Office serves as the Public Information Officer within the Incident Command System.

The primary function of the office is to reduce the frequency, probability, and severity of fire resulting in loss of life and property. This is accomplished by conducting frequent quality inspections in all commercial buildings, reviewing construction blueprints for code compliance, fire investigations, media relations/public information, and conducting educational classes for the public. The false fire alarm ordinance, lock box program, fire lane enforcement, occupant load/exit checks in assembly occupancies, computerized inspection file maintenance, company fire inspection, and prefire planning programs are also overseen by this division.
