Welcome to the Fire Prevention Bureau.  Fire Prevention has been built upon the philosophy of three main objectives, Education, Engineering and Enforcement.  Fire Prevention is a vital function in the community and our continued economic development.  The Bureau provides these functions within four sections: Fire protection and planning, fire and life safety inspections, community education and fire investigations.  Without these sections the fire prevention efforts fall short of community expectations and the protection that our citizens deserve.

We are proud to serve you and encourage you to use the services of the Fire Prevention Bureau.  The Bureau currently has one Fire Marshal, three inspectors and utilizes firefighters to assist in education delivery and inspections throughout the community.  It is our mission to educate each citizen on ways to better protect themselves and their neighbors from the devastating effects of fire before one even occurs.  This education means the difference in your life safety.

This website is designed to provide resources, tools, and information relative to laws, rules, regulations and standards that we use to protect our community.  You should find it helpful in a variety of ways.  Again, we look forward to serving for and with you in keeping our community a safe place to live, work and recreate.

Christopher P. Jensen, Fire Chief/Fire Marshal
