Fire Prevention
Fire Marshal Stephen F. Hume
The Fire Prevention Division is responsible for Fire Prevention
activities that include:
- Code Enforcement.
- Plan Review.
- Fire and Arson Investigation.
- Public Education.
- Hazardous Materials.
 Code Enforcement
Career firefighters conduct periodic fire prevention inspections in
all occupancies (except one- and two-family dwellings) within their
response district. Buildings are inspected for the purposes of enforcing
the fire and life safety regulations, familiarizing firefighters with
the building and educating occupants in good fire safety practices.
Plan Review
The Plan Review Office ensures that submitted plans for new
construction and renovation comply with current Codes. Upon completion
of the building, an inspector will inspect the project to insure that
final construction is in accordance with the Code.
Fire and Arson Investigation
The Fire Marshal and fire investigators are trained to investigate
the cause of fires in the community. Fires determined to be suspicious
or incendiary are jointly investigated with the assistance of our Police
Department.
