Overview
Fire inspections are completed annually to help businesses, residential properties, churches and schools to have fire safe buildings for the community. During the annual inspection, inspectors will meet with a property representative to talk about any fire or life safety issues that might be discovered during that building walk-through. Inspectors will also complete inspections for new businesses or for any construction projects.
