- IMPORTANT NOTICE -
 
To ensure the safety of the public and first responders during the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Fire Marshal’s Office will require that strict safety guidelines be followed during your inspection:
  • Maintain proper social distances during the inspection
  • Wearing of protective face masks by both the inspector and resident
  • Limit the amount of people encountered during the inspection.  We ask that only one person accompany the inspector during the inspection process and that the other occupants wait a safe distance away, either outside or in a separate portion of the residence.  If occupants opt to remain a safe distance away in the residence they will be required to wear masks during the inspection.

These measures are being put in place to ensure everyone’s safety and the inspector has the right to cancel the inspection if any of these measures are not followed.  Cancellation of an inspection will not only cause a delay in your inspection process but may result in additional rescheduling fees.
