About the Fire Prevention Committee

It is the duty of the Fire Prevention Division to prevent” incidents that require the response of our fire suppression personnel. It is the job and responsibility of this division to enforce fire codes and regulations, inspect and abate existing and potential fire hazards, and to recommend fire prevention standards. This makes the job of a firefighter a lot easier.

The Fire Prevention Division also conducts year-round public education programs for the general public, schools, hospitals, industry, business, and civic and fraternal organizations. This division makes use of its Fire Safety House that is a very valuable fire safety educational tool. It is a vital tool in teaching children, as well as adults, the importance of fire safety in the home. In addition to the Fire Safety House, we also have "Patches." Patches is our fire dog robot used in safety presentations to your children.

During 2004, through the efforts of our Fire Prevention Chief, Assistant Fire Prevention Chief, and our Fire Inspectors, the Fire Prevention Division has been very productive in educating the general public in fire safety.
