IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING STATE GOVERNMENT CLOSURE

The Office of the State Fire Marshal will be closed on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, due to the 2010 - 2011 Biennial State Budget, Public Law 2009, Chapter 213, Part SSS. This is the seventh of ten closure days between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.

If you have an urgent matter please dial 9-1-1 or 1-800-452-4664 and someone will assist you. While the office is closed, there are inspectors and investigators available if you need assistance.

The Fire Marshal's Office (FMO) is dedicated to protecting lives and property from the devastation of fire, explosions, and other life safety hazards. It is one of nine bureaus that make up the Department of Public Safety. While many of you may know of our role in investigating and determining how fires start, you might not be as familiar with our other responsibilities. FMO's duties include inspecting public buildings, reviewing the construction blueprints of public facilities before they're built, regulating explosives, fireworks, and certain flammable liquids, inspecting mechanical rides, and licensing travelling amusement shows and circuses.
