Welcome to the Maine Office of State Fire Marshal
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.
