We ensure the accountability, accuracy, and competency of all facets of the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
Every home must have working smoke alarms. But remember, they can only detect smoke. To survive a fire, you must be able to quickly escape. You need fire sprinklers because they detect AND control or put out the fire. That gives you time to safely escape. The best protection from fire is having working smoke alarms on every level, fire sprinklers, and a fire escape plan that you practice.
We review all plans and specifications for construction of new buildings, additions, and modifications to existing buildings to ensure compliance with regulations.
