Fire Prevention Bureau: The Fire Prevention program is essential to abate fires and life-safety hazards before they can cause injury and property damage. This is accomplished by working with all fire fighters to inspect all schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings, and to seek the correction of any hazards found; to educate residents in fire prevention practices; to review plans for commercial buildings to insure all fire safety features are included before the building is built; to review, update and enforce the County Fire Code; to investigate fires to determine their origin and cause for information on future fire hazards awareness and the prosecution of arson cases; and to maintain inspection and investigation records and reports to measure the results.
