 Fire
Prevention and Inspections

Inspections are conducted in relation to hazardous materials, certificates
of occupancy, and underground storage tank regulations. Additionally,
the Fire Prevention Division provides educational programs and events
to inform the community in the areas of life safety and disaster
preparedness.
