The mission of the Fire Prevention Division is to protect the people, property, and environment of our community by identifying hazards and potential hazards through inspections, and preventing these hazards from occurring through education. This can be accomplished by focusing our efforts on service to our community through the belief that preventing an incident is far better than responding to an occurrence of fire, injury, or a hazardous situation that otherwise might be prevented. We administer this effort by enforcing the International Fire Code through an inspection program, plan reviews, the pre-incident planning of commercial properties and performing the post fire investigation for cause and determination.

Throughout the year, the Fire Prevention Division provides plan reviews for commercial occupancies, multi-family, and inspection services for a variety of special events, fairs, and festivals.
