The Fire Marshal’s Office conducts ongoing inspections of all commercial, industrial and multi-family occupancies on a regular basis. These inspections are to ensure that the needed fire safety equipment and features in these buildings are maintained.

During these inspections we look to work with the building owner to ensure compliance with the fire code.
