Fire Prevention Strategy
The Fire Prevention Bureau works diligently to ensure compliance with State and Local fire codes for both new and existing commercial construction within the Sugar Grove Fire Protection District. Our process includes:
- Reviewing and approving submitted plans
- Inspecting all phases of construction
- Issuing permits for final occupancy
Through this proactive approach, we ensure that buildings are equipped with the proper fire protection systems and are safe for occupancy.
