The Fire Prevention Division is tasked with providing the highest level of fire prevention through public education, inspection and detailed plan review.  Under the direction of the Fire Marshal, the Fire Prevention Division personnel strive to provide members of the Fire District with the most updated information available to safely protect their home or place of business from fire hazards.  Fire Prevention has proven to be the most effective way to reduce loss of life and property.
