Bureau of Fire Prevention
The Bureau of Fire Prevention inspects all businesses, churches, schools and industrial facilities in the city and jurisdiction annually. This inspection procedure informs owners and managers of problems which may contribute to the occurrence of fire in their workplace. This procedure also serves as an excellent public relations tool for the department. The bureau is also responsible for making determinations of fire cause and origin, fire prevention week programs, the issuance of various permits, and building plan reviews. The bureau also provides speakers for school and civic meetings as well as information for other groups seeking information on fire related topics. The department has a new mobile classroom where students experience live training in preventing fires as well as surviving a smoke-filled atmosphere. The classroom also contains a tornado simulator allowing students to experience a tornado in their hometown. The mobile classroom can also be quickly converted to a command and rehab facility as needed.
