Fire safety tips

The Fire Marshal enforces all of the provisions of the adopted Fire Prevention Code and receives applications and fees and issue permits in accordance with this Code. The Fire Marshal also inspects the premises that have been issued permits and enforces compliance with all of Fire Prevention Code provisions. View Fire Prevention Code. For more information, view Applications and Fees.

Whenever the Fire Marshal rejects an application or refuses to issue a permit, or if an applicant believes that the provisions of the Fire Prevention Code do not apply or that the true intent or meaning of the Code has been misconstrued, wrongly applied or interpreted, then the applicant may appeal the decision of the Fire Marshal to the Board of Appeals for hearing and action.
