Fire Prevention

Our office provides a wide range of services to protect residents, business owners, and property throughout the District:

For Homeowners & Residents
We conduct occupancy inspections for homes during sales and rental changes, ensuring properties meet safety requirements before closing or move-in. We also provide guidance on safe open burning practices to protect our community from uncontrolled fires.

For Businesses
From new business openings to construction projects, we review plans, issue permits, and conduct inspections to ensure commercial properties comply with fire codes. We also ensure fire protection systems like sprinklers and alarms are properly inspected, tested, and maintained to keep them working when needed most.

For Special Events & Vendors
We issue permits for festivals, special events, food vendors, and temporary structures like tents and fireworks stands, helping organizers create safe environments for our community to gather and celebrate.

For the City of Kimmswick
As the building authority for Kimmswick, we support safe development through plan reviews, permitting, and inspections for all projects within the city.
