Public Education Programs
Fire prevention and safety is a team effort between you and the Fire Marshal's Office. We offer education programs to teach fire safety and prevention to children, seniors and local businesses in our community. Request a station tour, an apparatus visit to your location, or an educational program for your group or organization.
Fire Inspections
The Fire Marshal’s Office has extensive training and experience in fire dynamics, evidence collection, and fire pattern analysis. Fire Investigators work with firefighters and law enforcement to determine the origin and cause of fires. Fire Investigation aids in future prevention efforts and can also help bring criminals to justice. Contact the Fire Marshal for further information about fire investigation.
