Inspections are conducted primarily for two reasons, business license and construction inspections.

Business Licenses

Business license inspections are made initially when a new business opens and normally on an annual basis for most general business licenses. Our fire prevention staff will come to your business location and look for key "fire hazards." The inspectors are looking for hazardous conditions, such as improper use of extension cords, accessible fire exits, storage in proper places, etc. Do you have a fire extinguisher? Is it in the correct location?

Construction Inspections 

Construction Inspections are conducted at different stages in the course of a construction project. These inspections are performed on a case by case basis.
