Building & Fire Safety
The Building Safety Department has a skilled, conscientious staff eager to help you. Our staff is made up of trained and certified personnel, all of whom have extensive backgrounds in construction, contracting, fire protection and fire prevention. While we are not permitted to perform any actual design work, we are more than willing to consult with owners and builders on building, fire, life safety and code related questions. By answering your questions before the work is started, we can help you avoid having to make corrections later. Pools? Decks? Fences?
