FIRE INVESTIGATIONS

Fire Prevention conducts investigations into suspicious fires to determine their origin and cause.  Whether a fire is accidental in nature or intentionally set, the investigation team determines action needed to prevent future occurrence, such as product recalls, public awareness, increased code compliance inspections, or arresting and prosecuting an arsonist. 
​

PUBLIC EDUCATION

The Fire Department provides public education programs upon request.  Both our stations and fire prevention personnel have an active presence in our community.  Some of the programs we offer include station tours, fire extinguisher training, home escape planning and general fire safety for children.

PLAN REVIEW

Fire prevention reviews construction plans to determine compliance with the adopted 2012 International Fire and Building Codes as well as all local codes, ordinances, standards and regulations.  Fire Plan reviewers look for such things as adequate and compliant fire safety systems, fire resistant building materials, Fire Department access and proper and adequate exiting. ​
