Business Inspections:
The fire department has a fire safety inspection program for businesses in the city. The engine companies make the inspections on a one or two year cycle. The inspections cover general fire safety, exiting, fire extinguishers, checking the fire sprinkler system if the building is so equipped, and updating of emergency numbers for the company.

New Building Development and Planning:
The Fire Department is very active with the development community in the city. We encourage anyone with a new project to contact the Fire Prevention Division for input in fire safety design. The Fire Department is an active member of the City's Project Review Committee. We meet with builders and help them in the early stages of design. All related departments in the City participate on this committee.

Incident Investigation:
The Fire Department has the responsible of investigating all fires in the city. The Fire Department has several trained fire investigators on shift. The fire investigators will determine the fire cause and origin.

Home Smoke Detectors:
The Fire Department can answer any questions about smoke detectors that you may have. If you are unable to install a smoke detector in your home, call the Fire Department and we will send someone out to install it for you. If you don't have a smoke detector and can't afford one we will give you one. Remember to replace the battery in your smoke detector when you change your clocks for daylight savings time.

Public Education and School Tours:
During Fire Prevention week (the first week of October) the Fire Department goes to schools in the city and talks to children about fire safety. Through out the year we host fire tours at the neighborhood firehouses. Call Fire Administration at 916-617-4600 to make an appointment.
