Inspection Program

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.

IF THE BUSINESS DOES NOT PASS THE FIRST FIRE INSPECTION, ADDITIONAL RE-INSPECTIONS WILL BE SUBJECT TO RE-INSPECTION FEES

Cost Recovery Fees for these inspections, will be collected via the payment link on our website.  If you have questions regarding the Inspection, contact Fire Marshal Steve Pevenage at (530) 577-3737 and press ‘5’ for the Battalion Chief’s office.  Click below to view/print a checklist to help you prepare for the necessary safety measures the Lake Valley Fire Protection District will be requesting during the inspection.

Business Licenses

Business license inspections are made initially when a new business opens for operation or relocates to a new space. These inspections are reoccurring and are to ensure the space is up to code.  Please contact Fire Marshal Steve Pevenage at (530) 577-3737 for any questions regarding business licenses or reoccurring fire and life safety inspections.
