Fire Marshal

 Inspections

The fire marshal is charged with the responsibility for inspections of new and existing buildings. During new construction, the fire marshal will check the sprinkler system, standpipes, fire alarms, detectors, emergency lighting, exits, extinguishers and fire pumps just to name a few.

Investigations

The fire marshal also has the task of investigating fires to determine cause and origin including the possibility of arson.

Plan Review

Another responsibility of the fire marshal is plans review. All site plans are reviewed by the fire department prior to submission to the planning commission. Site plans are reviewed for access, fire hydrant location, water supply and code compliance.
