-
Public Fire Safety Education. School programs, flyers, safety camp, fire station open house and other contacts with the public for educational purposes.
-
Code Enforcement. Adopt and enforce state and local ordinances to make their jurisdiction a safer place to live, work and play.
-
Fire Inspections. Follow up on complaints, inspect new occupancies and conduct fire and life safety inspections of existing buildings and their contents to reduce hazards.
