Fire inspections are conducted for numerous reasons such as for business licenses, construction projects, and reoccurring fire and life safety inspections. Inspections are also needed for special type permits such as for special events. A Fire & Life Safety Inspection is required for all business license applications, business license renewals, and a lapse in business licenses.
