The Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for protecting lives and property through the enforcement of various laws related to fire safety and fire investigation. This includes oversight of construction projects for compliance with locally adopted fire codes, verification of ongoing fire code compliance in existing buildings, and investigation to determine the origin and cause of fires in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. We also manage SMFR’s pre-fire planning activity, publishing pre-plans so our firefighters have the information they need to safely respond to emergencies that occur in buildings and facilities across our district.
